Do you think if we were fighting Hitler and Tojo that the liberals would not rephrase this as "the only purpose of the ATT is to fight fascism?"
It does not make the war on terror wrong. It just shows that liberals, who refuse to fight the war on terror, are willing to use it in order to disarm the last nation on Earth where firearm rights are mostly intact.
Been to an airport lately?
The fact is, after 9/11 all we had to do was harden the cockpit doors and arm the pilots.
We did the former, I’m not sure of the status of the latter, but in the meantime we’ve empowered an army of jackbooted thugs to grope 80year olds and 8year olds in the name of “War on Terror”... and at the same time, there is ATT.
As for the war against Germany and Japan in the 40s, that was a clearly defined DELCARED war with clearly defined objectives, fighting against clearly defined enemies.
The “War on Terror” is kept purposely vague and has a single, solitary goal: the magnification of State Power.
