Instead of having a war on terrorism .......

[sipnsail]

why don't we have a war on the causes of terrorism. When one country tries to control another country by supporting dictators or giving millions of dollars to the oppressive government it tends to upset people and make them feel marginalized. If we would pull our troops out of the middle east and stop supporting dictators or royal families, I truly believe that the reasons for terrorism would decrease enormously. Attacking a country that did not attack us and posed no threat to us does not reduce terrorism.

I'm so sick of Bush saying that they hate our freedom or they hate our life style. BS!
What they hate is our foreign policy! That is what has created terrorism!

2. That's the Elephant in the room, isn't it?

This "war on terror" is a massive distraction from domestic problems and social problems in America. The whole thing is a farce. It doesn't make sense to any person who looks at it strictly rationally. Yet lots of intelligent people speak up in favor of it all the time.

What does that tell you?
