Dear briang731/ bvincent: "Hey, genius," it's a literary reference. Not surprised you didn't get it.

The US has stayed out of war in Eurasia most of its life. If we are going to be at war I'd prefer it to be on someone else's soil for purely selfish reasons. People are still getting killed or maimed from even WWI's munitions. I don't think the terrorist would do like the US did after WWII - Help rebuild the infrastructure that was destroyed.

Hey, genius, can you tell me exactly where Eurasia is on any map? It's important to know, especially during Christmas. We need to know where to send the cookies.
I believe you have the terminology mis- used. I believe the name Eurasian refers to someone of European/Asian decent. Some of the most beautiful people in the world are Eurasians or Amerasians. With these people, you definitely want to make love, not war.

George Orwell (who's real name is Eric Blair) made a perfect point especially when it comes to Bush. The point is to be at a constant state of war. The point isn't really to win the war on terror, but to keep the fight going.
In nutcase Bush's case it's important to keep America fighting. He could care less about catching Bin Laden, because Bin Laden is Bush's BOOGEY MAN!!!.
By putting America at a constant state of fear and war, Bush is able to slowly take away our liberty's and privacy's under so called "national security". And if you don't have any fears, the Bush administration will be more then happy to give you some.
And for Conservatives to stay in power they have to use FEAR and SCARE this election. Lets just take a look at some of these SCARE TACTICS!!! http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2006/150806thenexus.htm

And if anybody actually uses their head and see's that Bush is full of crap about his bone head decision about Iraq they use this tactic below.
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
Don't play into Conservative SCARE AND FEAR!!!

No, we've always been at war with Eastasia. We were at war with Eurasia last week.
