For close to three years now we've been listening to Bush spout off at the mouth about this "war on terror" and "crimes against freedom." The entire thing is a bunch of bullshit. First off, what crimes against freedom have been commited? Obviously, it's a horrible horrible thing that so many people have died in the Al Qaeda attacks, but the LAST thing bin Laden and his cronies are protesting is freedom. When some guy goes out and kills his wife, not once do you hear anyone say, "What a horrible crime he commited against her freedom!" It's overstated horseshit aimed at keeping people scared. And Bush doesn't stop there. In his speeches you hear him make references to threats to our very way of life and civilization. I'm really really sorry to all those out there who are swinging from Bush's nuts, but Al Qaeda is a little ill-equipped to wage that sort of a war against us. As for the "war on terror," it's like saying, "we're going to get rid of bad intentions," or frowns, or mean people, or assholes who cut you off in traffic. It's just not going to happen. And exactly who are we chasing out there right now? Besides members of Al Qaeda (which makes total sense), the only other person we've gone after is Saddam Hussein. And seeing as how there's not really a logical bridge between bin Laden and Hussein (Hussein had no WMD and there was no proof that the two men were in contact), we're left wondering if the Bush camp was using the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to follow their own agenda.Originally posted by Vreenak:

The Terror Alert stuff, "crimes against freedom," "the war on terror." It's all meant to keep people afraid. Even crap like the scheduling of the Republican National Convention (Never has a Republican Convention been held in New York City, and never has one been scheduled so late in the year. It ends just before September 11th) is meant to play off of people's emotions. So, like I said in my original post, I think the War On Terror is total bullshit.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*Standing Ovation*
