Why is the U.S. waging a War on Terror instead of a War on Those Who Use Terror?

Question

I heard this from a congressman - don't recall his name, but it's a very good point.

We didn't wage a war on blitzkrieg during WW2.

No it isn't a stupid question..

Terror is a tactic, not a nation or a group.

We are fighting specific groups, not a group called 'Terror'.

again, how is this a stupid question?

Terror is a tactic, I could pull up the definition if you don't understand.

"It IS the same thing. It IS a stupid question. "Those who use terror", are known for hiding amongst innocent civilians. Why do you all STILL not see this?? "

I didn't say anything about for or against the war..Terror is a TACTIC, not a group, it should be a war on the ones who use terror not against what their main arsenal is.

Ending question, starting this fresh with some definitions.

Answer 1

It IS the same thing. It IS a stupid question. "Those who use terror", are known for hiding amongst innocent civilians. Why do you all STILL not see this??

Answer 2

Hezbollah has been trained for years by the Iranian government, and funded by Syria and Iran. Iran wants a nuke (period) Iran wants the entire world to ONLY be muslim, if you are not Muslim...then you will no longer be needed on planet earth. Iran believes that the MESSIAH will not return until the great satan ( The U.S. and Israel) are destroyed. Hezbollah is the "stick" by which Syria and Iran are using to poke Israel in the eye with, so that Israel will call on the U.S. to help and the "war" will start. The Nuke is for the rest of us...including you, my friend. That is why Hezbollah does not target military hardware...they want to kill as many "zionists" and "gentiles" as possible. They only pretend to be primitive in using their weapons, saying..."we can't really "aim' these...only hit what we can, when we can !
Make no mistake...this is a giant "CHESS GAME" thought out by the Islamic clerics in Iran for years, in yet "another" attempt to control the world.

Say what you want...The big picture is this...Iran "will" kill ALL non-Muslims given the chance...This is the next attempt to rule the word, the islamic clerics have been planning this for years...The U.S., and other govs. have known this for years. George Bush positioned the U.S. in Iraq for a reason--To get as close to Iran as possible--Yes, we were probably lied to about the U.S. intentions in the region, and the WMD'S, etc...although true, this was to keep the minds of the American people occupied while the real, purpose was being implimented...Go to Afghanistan, then to Iraq, we are where we are supposed to be...The american people think that Israel and Hezbollah are having a little skirmish, only because the gov knows "YOU CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH". You have to think "bigger" IRAN hopes that you won't. The world is asleep at the wheel again...Iran knows this and the U.S. is trying to wake us up before it's too late again...If we could "ask" Winston Churchill...he would tell you the story of how everyone thought he was "nuts" for his constant warnings about Germany

Times have converted my buddy. Im certain if that IRA stuff might be going down now, plenty extra might have taken location. This is surely no longer a War on Religion. There are terrorist available in the market looking to kill blameless persons. They are making use of the faith to again there schedule, so that you will have to ask the query WHY. We are shopping for a terrorist that has threaten our nation with killing of blameless persons. Yes we've additionally killed blameless persons at the same time shopping for the terrorist and that's due to the fact the ones Cowards cover among the civilians. If they desire to battle step out within the open and dont use blameless persons as shields. That is your opinion that Americans dont like Muslims, i in my opinion don't have anything in opposition to them. Just due to the fact there are a couple of dangerous apples does no longer imply the entire batch is ruined. In case you didnt recognise, i've served 21yrs within the Military and feature been concerned in each and every clash and struggle for the reason that 1991. Here is a bit historical past for you earlier than you begin going off. Who helped Iraq in the course of the Iran-Iraq War, sure it was once the well historic US. Who helped the Al Qaeda construct the caves within the mountains of Afghanistan, all over again the US. It is unlucky they grew to become in opposition to us once we helped them battle there battles. The hyperlinks under gets you proficient.
