Right now every tinpot and terrorist is on the waiting list for a couple of N.Korean nukes - they have no export industry except weapons technology and the slave/sex trade
Yup, they are all following the great example of G-W. Thank you Mr Bush for leading the way.
Macavity, with all respect, I think your post is emotionalist and makes little sense. I think it is just another presentation of our old friend – complacency. Not even a year and a half goes by, and it is forgotten that WE have been attacked, OUR cities have been bombed, and OUR family, friends and neighbors have lost their lives. And that the people who did it promised to come back and to attack us again and again. They have no plans to stop, no matter how "nicely" we behave.
Afghanistan... Simple question: How do you fight a global terrorist organization which happens to practically own a large mountainous country like Afghanistan? Conditio sine qua non - you need a government which would no longer allow them into the country. Without that, you are simply deceiving yourself and others.
I see Iraq NOT as an issue of whether or not to go to war... We are at war. It is simply an issue of strategy, of choosing one's battles in a war which is already taking place.
I live near New York City – also a target. I am a peaceful person, but I fully realize that we can no longer escape facing the music.
About President Bush – paraphrasing Sigmund Freud ("Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar...") – sometimes, macavity, politicians rise to the occasion and DO act in the national interest. |
