My Father once said "I suport the troops, but not Bush!" and I agree with him.
Five years into the War On Terror and were're in the same standoff as Vietnam; THERE'S NO WAY OUT!
Bush administrators is useing The War On Terror to further its own objestives, but those own objectives are harmful to ourselves. Terrorism is best dealt with by methods better than waging war against a nation. War claims innocent lives when it's waged aginst terrorists who keep themselves out of sight.
The War On Terror ecauses a similar response from those who are its victims as the terrorist attacks on 9/11 causes in us. As a consequence, there are many more people willing to risk their lives to attack Americans today than there were 9/11.
The fact that waging war on terror sounds so obvious and natural makes it all the more dangerous.
What makes the war on terror a false metaphor is that it is taken literally. Terror is an abstraction. One cannot wage war on an abstraction. We have the means to destroy any target as long as we can identify it, but terrorists rarely provide an identifiable target. When we declare war, we must find a target; but the target we choose is unlikely to be the right one.
We have killed more innocent civilians in Iraq than the terrorists killed on 9/11. In addition to killing, we have also humiliated and tortured many Iraqis. By creating innocent victims, we have advanced the terrorists cause. They can now depict us as the terrorists and enlist the support of their countrymen, just as President Bush has enlisted ours. We find this difficult to understand because we cannot envision ourselves as terrorists.
Yet, that is exactly how we appear to many Iraqis.
The Bush administration and its imitatorsmany foreign governments have been eager to follow its leadinsist that a state cannot commit acts of terror. That contention must be challenged.Why won't we do anything about this shambel?
