Yes, absolutely. If we bow down and do nothing, the bad guys of the world will come here again and again. Yes, we need to do what we can to protect ourselves. I support our troops and pray for their safety. But, mostly, I support closing our borders immediately. America's safety starts there.

I support our troops, not the reason they are at war in Iraq but I do support those that are fighting for us back at home. The war on terror seems to be a slow process, and being as how they are underground very loyal followers it is hard to find these people that wish to harm the innocent. I really don't see the reasons with spending billions of dollars to aid this war on terror and we don't really have much to show for it, as opposed to what they can say they have done to us (being the unsuspecting public). I really think the money that is funding the war on terror could definitely be spent in a much better way than it is now, alot of that money is leaving the country never to return. These are the reasons why I don't support the ware on terror.

I support our troops, I do not support the war.

This war has NOTHING to do with our freedoms. In fact I have seen nothing but an erosion of our freedoms ever since 9/11. Ever since this ridiculous war on terrorism.

Not only that, the government refuses to clear it's name. There is plenty of evidence that the government was involved with the Oklahoma city bombing, the 1993 WTC attack and even 9/11.

Their only defense? Nuh-uh!

They won't release the security footage. They won't let someone have a full scale investigation, they even destroyed the evidence from 9/11 before a criminal investigation took place.

I will support a war that actually has something to do with our freedoms. Uh oh, Looks like I support a revolution.

NO!! Our glorious president screwed that up. By his action to ignore the UN council and declare an act of war against Iraq he opened the door for any and all other countries to do the same.
Just think about it...Some country or worst countries don't like what Bush is doing so they decide to commit an act of war against the US. Guess what, were screwed. Were caught with our pants down, because two thirds of our troops are over on foreign soil fighting a political bull sh-t war that we had no business in. I never knew that the US was into revenge. Those other countries would do the same as our glorious president did and say the heck with the UN and lets bomb the good old US. and you know what? we would lose that war.
Its time for the people of America to take back our government and set it straight. This isn't a country ran by its people, its a country dictated by its government. Don't get me wrong, I love this country and I put my time in the military, but the USA is in for a rough shake up and its going to happen soon unless we change our government and get our troops home. Think about it...............its scary.

My answer to all the questions is ‘NO!’

I don’t support the ‘war on terror’ because it is delusional. The Bush administration is fooling the American public by using the American media to create fear in their hearts. Bush and his supporters pretend that all the Islamic terrorists in the world are grouped under a shadowy and powerful network which wants to destroy the West. The truth is that the terrorists are too badly organized to pose any major threat to Western countries. Their level of organization is nowhere near those of non-Islamic terrorists groups in the developed countries, like the ETA in Spain and the Red Army in Japan.

On the question of supporting American troops, I’ll say this: the troops aren’t independent, they have to follow the orders of the government. They have to bear the brunt of the administration’s erroneous policies. It’s a pity to see them dying in Iraq for nothing. I support the troops who want the war to stop, but I don’t support what they are doing now in Iraq.

Yeah, sure. And I support the troops too. I don't however support Bush's hate war on Iraq. Now if we were in Afghanistan or wherever the hell Osama is trying to kill him, I'd say "Go for it!" But the war in Iraq, as I see it, is not a war on terror. It's an old oil war making Cheney richer and avenging Hussein in the name of dear old dad.

Terror is not a thing that can be fought. It is a perception like good or evil. Reuters rightly banned the word initially as being totally inappropriate propaganda for a news organization to use. Similar phrases are "freedom fighters", "insurgents", "killers" and "jerks". I guess anti-American paramilitary would be more accurate. Especially since todays terrorists (Osama Bin Laden) was yesterday's Afghanistani freedom fighter (Osama Bin Laden) and we actually trained and supplied them. It is just too Orwellian to switch the terms every few years just to reflect who we are at war with today.
The troops are just a bunch of innocent patsies that needed away to get a home loan and get out of their town. It is so unfortunate that we can't draft the children of those who make these decisions. They will never care unless it is their children. I feel bad for them because I think it is for economic pressures that most of them are there.

we've performed no longer some thing so some distance as a war on terror. the position is Bin weighted down? Why did we go after Iraq? there have been no Iraqi's aboard any of those planes. The patriot act is a step in route of communism. in reality it truly is declaring you do not have any rights and the goverment can do what it needs. Is that patriotic? native land safe practices is a funny tale. First they have a score man or woman attempting to seduce little females on the artwork pc (and it took them numerous months to capture that), they did not word an unlawful alien operating as a border patrol agent (that smuggled thousands of illegals in), yet they prefer to study your emails and comprehend who you call. Is that the land of the loose? the unhappy certainty is we do not realize what we are dealing with. The terrorists aren't from now on human beings that ought to strike quickly. they could hit us one hundred years from now. Time isn't a aspect interior the way they imagine. we are no longer programmed like that and cant realize it. it truly is fortunate that they do no longer comprehend a thanks to really harm us or how our society fairly runs. The goverment might want to capture some human beings that would want to or might want to no longer be fairly doing some thing, however those that are severe will nonetheless take care of to avert all of our safe practices information superhighway.
