You try to explain that war is not simply a football game in which you pick a "side" and then cheer for your team. Yet, continually Americans think you need to choose your "side" in the Middle East. Now, with recent news regarding AlQaida's threat to wage a holy war against Israel, it seems many Americans think you need to choose one of two sides: AlQaida or Israel. In fact, news of this type seems to have as an ulterior motive trying to get more Americans to simply have a pro-war perspective that supports total destruction of the infrastructure of nations such as Iraq and Lebanon in an effort to quell Islamic terrorists. The articles are indirectly asking Americans if they want to be on the side that "wins" against terrorists. But in reality, nobody is "winning" with this faux war strategy. Instead, thousands of Iraqi, Lebanese, Afghani, and other CIVILIANS are actually the ones being killed. Why do Americans think "winning" at all costs is justifiable?
