Would someone please define 'national security.'

Again this is NOT a GZ mosque threat. It is about the rhetoric that is being bandied about these days...rhetoric like I have never in my considerable number of years heard.

Example:

"Our national security now hinges on how we negotiate this, how we speak about it." Under God: Imam Rauf: National security hinges on mosque debate - Elizabeth Tenety

To WHAT is this referring. Terrorists knocked out two sky scrapers and it didn't destroy our 'national security' did it? I mean, does 'national security' refer to a feeling, a fact, or God forbid, overthrowing our government?

National security is one helluva a big term to be thrown around so casually if it is merely referring to whether or not we feel safe. I recall being told that Americans have nothing to fear but fear itself. Well, has the time come that fear itself will destroy us?

Our WWII boys had top cope with Tokyo Rose. What is going on that our current military cannot cope with a display of freedom of expression? Am I the only one who wonders about this stuff.
