I ask my nephew this question after his first tour in Iraq, what do you all think? are we creating more terrorist by our (US)actions around the world or are we making headway in combating global terrorism?

I don't believe our troops are creating more terrorists, but maybe others are. I love this country, there is nowhere I'd rather live, but it is easy to understand why so many people hate us. We have people like Rosie bashing this country on national TV every day, we pay our athletes millions of dollars, and we have homes that cost $50,000,000. I don't really have a problem with the things I stated, (except Rosie), but that is why we have so many enemies. I think we're making headway in combating terrorism, but there are always going to be people who hate us.

The more the US does act's that the majority of the world disagrees with, we are growing more terrorists all the time. Some of them are here in the states and some are abroad.
It full on now! No correcting it. The US is so hated around the world, it's mind blowing and such a shame. This is a good country (The People) but our goverment sucks!

The problem is that we need to wipe out more then just the terrorists. We need to eradicate the source of the terrorist- their wives. Mother terrorist produces baby terrorist who grows up proudly in terrorist daddies footsteps. As inhumane and "Un-American" as this suggestion is, it is reality. You are not dealing with normal people having anything resembling a normal thought process. They are murderers and barbarians and should be treated as such. You cant reason with them.

Yes. Terrorism is caused by two things:
1) Some percieved wrong.
2) Propaganda to brainwash people into believing that percieved wrong requires violence.
Bush has given the terrorists grievences by invading Iraq and he has done nothing about number 2. The right-wing religious fundamentalist in the middle east continue to brainwash their children through religious indoctrination in the school. America needs to promote secularism, liberalism, and feminism in the middle east.
The only solution to right-wing fundamentalists is left-wing liberalism.

Well, I do not think we create more terrorists. I think they are already here in society. Some of them living among us, pretending to live the western life style while in all honesty they comitt a plot against the world!

It isn't about removing all the terrorists. It's about creating the conditions necessary for Islam to free itself of it's dictators and make Freedom a value to aspire for.
We've been very successful, as frightening as it is in the process.

Yes. We know how many of our soldiers have died (over 3300, so far) but not how many terrorists have died - primarily because it's really not a war against terrorists and the military doesn't know who they are, anyway.

You are creating more terrorists, more enemies, and importantly losing the support of the ordinary citizens of countries you assume to be allies
