After the domineering arrogance typical of neocontrolled Washington, your second biggest problem in this 'war' is that you're calling it 'war', and in fact see it as 'war', with the adjective 'holy' largely unstated but very much present It's not war unc, it's policing, and you'd do a lot better making allies if you'd tone down the rhetoric and just pretend, if you must, that it's policing ..... it's police work for which military assets were necessary in Afghanistan, and may well be necessary again, for sure, but the WTC attack is not the first crime we've had to deal with in this world, we can handle it ..... eighty nations lost citizens that day - eighty! ..... for a while there it was looking like the bin Ladens of this world would be our major enemies of society for some time .... and they're still very high on the list, sure, but we're getting a little concerned about whatever class of brainstem activity is giving rise to the General Bumpkin style of declaring holy war on our account ..... murder being a crime, that we understand and are prepared to combat it, however general jihad, nah we'll pass thanks anyway 'Eliminating terrorism from ... S America ...' - there's terrorism in South America? ... you mean the narcotraficantes i suppose ..... well, you can cut them off at the knees by doing something about US-dollar demand for cocaina ..... again, in that 'war on drugs', 'war' just doesn't do much for the Glory of the Cause, does it .... well, having now riled you up i shall retire from the field -g- .... g'night all .... cheers
