I wish Bush would go ahead and take out Iran, North Korea, Syria and every other country that aids and abets terrorist. This world would be a better place. The shades of pink in this country would mess their protest pants.

I agree. a combination of international pressure, US miltary and a united country could lower the threat of these countries. Syria is already begg. to fold.
oh, wait, I forgot D.’s are determined to see US lose so they can win White House..that kind of throws a kink in the “united country” part !
At one time in Tx. history, “remember the alamo” became a rallying cry. well, “remember 9/11” and maybe we can unite to end this global threat of world terrorism. it will be coming to a city near you soon...if we lose this war.

War did what here? Gave us these things? Or some of them? Or it just accomplished them?

I think poster means it took a war to end slavery in US and ####’s in Europe,ect. it’s a slam at people who say war is never necessary.
Kerry slams Bush for moving too fast in fighting terrorists in Afg. and Iraq. the very next day Kerry slams W. for not going fast enough in Sudan. it’s so easy to critize and have hindsight..but what would Kerry do differently? He offers few options , only harping on negative.

N. Ireland never killed 3,000 people on American soil either. I agree with the basic premise though.

Which countries would those be? Our ally Pakistan? Saudia Arabia? Jordan? The Palestinian Authority? We will attack ALL of them? What will the result be- as easy as Iraq?

Why have we never supported military crackdowns in Northern Ireland, instead urging Britain to negotiate with people who set off bombs in train stations? Why is Gerry Adams, the smiling public face of Sinn Fein, feted like a folk hero in the US? Why have Americans and American politicians helped raised money for the IRA?

These questions do not mean war in Afghanistan and Iraq was a bad idea. I think they were the right thing. Free-range expansion of this idea is not possible, however. And the N. Ireland bit is to illustrate that we are not now, and never have been, of one mind when it comes to terror; indeed many people now support quite evil acts that have taken place there, and the people who did them, based on nothing more than ethnic kinship and political expediency- the behavior we have complained about in Arabs.

REMEMBER 9/11

Ah, a slogan that can be used justify just about anything.

No, no now. I don’t think most Americans support terrorist acts anywhere, Ireland or any other place. “Many people” may support these acts, but I don’t think the average American does. Arabs? I also think most sane Americans have absolutely no conflict with Arabs except that some of them would love to see us obliterated from the earth and are doing everything possible to carry this out. You didn’t come right out and say we support terrorism when it suits us and deplore it when it doesn’t, but you implied it.
