Our Strange War

The three-year-plus war that began on September 11 is the strangest conflict in our history. It is not just that the first day saw the worst attack on American soil since our creation, or that we are publicly pledged to fighting a method — “terror” — rather than the concrete enemy of Islamic fascism that employs it.

Our dilemma is that we have not sought to defeat and humiliate the enemy as much as wean a people from the thrall of Islamic autocracy. That is our challenge, and explains our exasperating strategy of half-measures and apologies — and the inability to articulate exactly whom we are fighting and why.

These tens of millions of people have lived their lives with terrorists in their midst. They have had generations after generations to govern themselves. Sure they voted, but I'd be surprised if 30% of them were "on our side" in this war against terrorism.

Maybe I'm pesimistic... but that's my opinion.

Here's Jaap DE Hoop Scheffer right now on Fox saying how well this war on terror is going (from Nato's perspective). How important it is for success that Nato and european integration is very important. The enlargement of the european union has not been suciffently internalized to catch up with the mood of the european people. That it's about values and prevnting armed conflict. (oh yeah... this will kill terrorists)

Question "prsident Bush is supportive of lebanon". What do you think of Syria testing missles. A) Nato does not try to find solutions for the middle east. I like others am worried about what we've heard. We're reaching out to Jordan, Saudi, Egypt and other countries in gulf region to see how we can find added value for nato.

Q) But what do you specifically say about Syria testing these weapons..

A) I do not think this is in the interest of security, it is clear that nato has a great steak in stability and peace and everything that threatens that stability should be appaled.

And we wonder why most of the American public doesn't support this stupid war.

In WW2 did we say lets no declare War on Germany, Italy and Japan because we are not at war with all those people just a few Fascist extremists.

The majority of Muslims around the world support terrorism.

We must cut off all immigration from Muslim countries, and become energy independent.

Once we become energy independent, we dont have to support or give aid to any Muslim country and we can just watch them sink back into the $hithole they came from.

Another important step is removing nuclear capability from all Muslim countries such as Iran and Pakistan.

Of course too many American even Freepers this seems extreme, so you all could continue drinking the Kool Aid and thinking that we can actually win the War by not fighting this as a War, and maybe Muslims will be our friends.

The only problem with that is their Holy Koran forbids it and we all know how important that is, we saw Condi Rice tremble before Congress about how much we respect the Holy Koran. A few more 9/11's might wake this country up, and more Americans will have to die unfortunately before we see the enemy of Islam and our own inner enemy of cultural relevatism.

The next 911 I fear will be a nuke, as long as we allow Muslims to harbor and create more of the.
