This begs the question; is it possible to support a fictional war?

fictional?

who supports bush's war on terror

From the way things are going, I'd have to say Osama bin Laden is probably his biggest supporter.

This begs the question; is it possible to support a fictional war?
Of course. A "fictional" war must inevitably be a cover for a real one. Supporters of the War on Terror are therefore supporters of the resource wars resulting from the US energy predicament and security policy. Some knowingly so, others not.

fictional?
You know. Non existend.

Nope: he's fighting a symptom rather than the root cause, and in doing so he's actually making things worse.

And does he have to call it "turr"?

Heh, you think that's bad, imagine being called a resident of "Yurp". Or, in one of his more ludicrous moments, a Paki. :p

Oh, I don't know. it's got to be better than being one of the "Merkin people" he's always banging on about. Have you looked up "merkin (http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/m/m0230750.html)" in a dictionary lately?

well yes i know what a fictional thing is

I would support a war on terror if he were actually fighting one.

:rolleyes: :sniper:

I dont support the war on terror, because it wont work in my opinion. What we need to win is the political war. There will always be people who hate america and who will try to use violent means. We need to limit that number and we can only do that by being popular in the Middle East. Blowing up buildings and people in my personal opinion does not do that very effectivly.

The point of the War on Terror is not to reduce the amount of hatred of America, rather to ensure that those who do, are forced into grinding poverty, oppression and early death. As long as this is achieved, it does not really matter whether the amount of hatred actually increases as a result. So the logic goes, anyway. But even this does not work very well.

thanks for the stuff, no to make the movie

It always seems slightly backwards to me.

Instaid of hunting down the specific threat, Bin Laden....there is an attempt to strike enough "terror" into the hearts of all those evil folk that would seek to use "terror" as a means to an end.

Take care of the specific enenmy you have, before jumping at shadows and creating more

The hell it's not working...have their been any more terrorist attacks in the US? Also, yeah, we'd like to be popular in the middle east, but it's not like that's going to happen any time soon.

I support the war on terror, not because it's President Bush's approach, but because the best defense is a good offense. Sitting here waiting to be attacked again, then trying to pick up the pieces, is a no-win approach. After all, look how effective was Spain's attempted appeasement of the terrorists.

So, how many more Arabs' does the US have to kill in Iraq before the Iraqi's believe you're there just trying to help liberate them? You're creating Jihadists' where there weren't any.. a whole new generation. Terrorists didn't come from Iraq, but they will now..

Hmmm, the question was too vague... j/k. No I do not support the war on terror, I supported the old war on terror, Afghanistan, but even Bush messed that up.

I agree, I mean Bush has no idea what he is doing, if he knew what he was doing it would have been very likely there would have been no 9/11.

Hmmm... that argument could also be used to justify Spain's withdrawal from the Coalition (no more Islamist terrorist attacks in Spain since they kicked out their previous government and pulled out of Iraq), the virtues of anti-terrorist juju beads or anything else. I think the best you can say is that there haven't been any more Islamist terrorist attacks on the US yet. Both the CIA and MI5, however, think that the invasion of Iraq -- part of George's war on turr -- has made the world a more dangerous place: so it's arguable that the war on turr has made another attack on the USA more likely. Of course, their "intelligence" has been somewhat suspect of late, so who knows?

War is easy to hate and difficult to understand. Most people follow the easy path.

You may be correct in that statement, however usually people at least know who they're fighting and why.. Iraq is lacking at least one of those elements.

Ah yes, like when we invaded Italy because they were allied with the Germans.
