Can someone explain to me how a country can have a war on a teqnique? I really would like to know how? Terror is just a way of fighting. What is country you know had war on a tequnique? I guess this shouldn't be surprise since we seem to have a war on everything.

Just because you can't destroy ideas, tactics and strategies with bombs and bullets, doesn't mean there aren't people stupid enough to try.

"Stupid" being the painfully obvious characteristic...

BINGO!

it is, in fact and defacto, one hell of a huge con game. one that is luling people who might otherwise have a conscounse into condoning mass murder on the pretence that it is somehow 'protecting' them.

at the same time suriving as a smoke screen for the real war, that is being waged to retain for the small handfull of the planet's most powerful nations, the option and ability and to be tolerated and condoned in doing so, to rob every other nation and culture of its resources and even in some cases means of survival.

it is not 'terror' that is being made war on. all war is 'terror'. what is being made war on is the concept of international law and that soverign nations, especialy the most powerful of soverign nations, should be held to any standard at all.

This war I beileve was for the contracts that could be given to hallibuton. That might sound like a broken record but the truth tends to be the broken record.

Yeah, it's an overbroad term. You, along with the roughly 3800 stand-up comics that have picked up on it, are correct. ;)

Question is who should this war be againest?

Known terrorist groups. New terrorist groups. Of course, the government has kept an eye out for that sort of thing since the Whiskey Rebellion. The word "war" in this context is more of a way of saying "we're serious about this," as in "war on drugs." In other words, the next president may abandon it entirely, while the one after him/her might pick it up again. It's never knowable what the next guy's going to do.

Well it started out as a war to catch the people responsible for 9/11, which I can't say I disagree with. If we ever do catch them we should probably get out of the middle east and destroy their cause. Their cause is injustice.

Of course its a war. But, instead of being against a government, its against organizations. Because most terrorists groups are so well organized that they can be fought against.

But, its a diferent war from most ones. Terrorists vary on their organizations and methods. Which means that its much more important to have information on your enemy instead of destroying buildings, factories and infra-structure like a regular war.

Its a war because it demands full commitment by the US. The problem is that the US thought they could win this war by blowing things, and now they realize it isnt so. Its a new kind of war, where information is the highest asset.

In the United States, ther word "war" has come to define not just armed conflict, but any protracted, organized, concentrated struggle against a perceived negative force; hence, the "War on Poverty" and "War on Drugs." It has an awful lot to do with the level of success the US Government and Military had during the Second World War, with channeling societies energies towards a specific directed goal.

I honestly think that the war is all wrong,we should have declared war on jihadist groups and all countries that support jihadist groups,in effect a "War on the Wahabbi sect of Islam".But that wouldnt be politically correct,so we have a War on Terror("War on Terror" is a registered trademark of the Bush Adminstration,and is not to be used without consent of the Bush Administration)instead.Its stupid,really,its like declaring war on "Naval-Air Sneak Attacks" after Pearl Harbor.:headbang:

I think a Borat quote could be adequately used in this thread.

"We declared war on terror... it's not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I'm sure we'll take on that bastard ennui."

--Jon Stewart

Go for it! Haven't seen the movie myself, so I may miss the meaning, but it can't hurt any.
