Do you support the war against terror?

Question

What first comes to your mind when I say "war against terror"? Is it muslim/ islam?

Answer 1

When I hear the phrase war on terror I hear a public relations exercise.

It is a term used by those in power to demonize the oppressed who are doing the only thing that they can to bring attention to their plight.

The people who use the term war on terror cause hundreds of times as many innocent people to die by their actions as the so called terrorists.

The war on terror is an illusion perpetrated on the gullible to justify mass murder that in the end assures no purpose other than controlling resources or strategic areas that can be used to control them.

Answer 2

First of all I think is better to speak of war against terrorism, so that the expression may sound a little less meaningless. But even so, I don't find it a very clear idea. Wars normally happen between two or more self-defined entities (usually states). In this case there is no such thing as "terror" or even "terrorism". The war against Al Caida could be something clearer but when using the word terror and at the same time maintaining the right to define who is terrorist and who isn't then the thing becomes a little strange. The war against terror means war against everyone that the US administration may define as terrorist. So it can be an endless war with new adversaries discovered all the time and without a prospect of a real victory.
The first few years of war have shown that this is exactly what happens. First the terrorists where Taliban, then Sadam, now Iran, tomorrow Korea. I think the slogan "war against terror" is being used as an excuse to turn to a war economy, to stop respecting human rights and to legalize the destruction and conquest of countries. At the same time the only result of the war is that fundamentalism becomes even stronger and new "terrorists" are being created.

Answer 3

War against terror is fine, but the question you should be asking is: Is the right war going on here? Do innocents have to be punished because of some maniacs? If only the words war and violence didn't exist, terror wouldn't be either!
Thank you

Answer 4

pondering the way that the U. S. has dealt with itself diplomatically and on campaign in Afghanistan and Iraq, i detect it complicated to have faith that there are nevertheless human beings available that help the conflict On Terror. case in point! Lest we overlook - submit 9/11 it replaced into very plenty Afghanistan gung-ho! shall we pass make the worldwide secure over there. shall we do away with Osama Bin-encumbered, and then which will end any further assaults. I dont look to bear in mind it paning out that way. Afghanistan is an risky u . s . now - hence the reason 1600 extra British troops are being deployed there to maintain the peace with the aid of fact no-one else desires to do it. the U. S. is stretched because it particularly is around the area and now you're on approximately achieveable conflict with Iran? Pardon? Sorry are you magically performing militia workers out of nowhere? There in simple terms are not sufficient components to maintain a third floor invasion and campaign. end the roles you started first possibly? with the intention to have continued help for a campaign you're able to first tutor us that there is sufficient sufficient reason to warrant it.

Answer 5

I support the war against terror.

Unfortunately, that immediately brings to mind: Iraq.

I do not immediately think of Muslims when I think of terrorists. There are terrorist groups in all countries. However, I do believe that the Muslim terrorist groups are the most dangerous to our way of life. Notice I said "Muslim terrorist groups" and not "Muslims" because I know that the majority of Muslims are peaceful people who just want to live and let live. Unfortunately, there are extremists in every culture.

Answer 6

The western interference in others lives has been creating the terrorists in Islamic world as well as in other countries.
So I would support not to interfere in other countries policies which leads to create the terrorists groups.
For instance, the American interference in supporting Israel and denying the Palestinians rights as well as their supports to one part of the Palestinians made the Palestinians vote for Hamas (the most radical political party in Palestine). The US accepted the presidency elections' results because Fateh won, but when Hamas won the legislative elections, the US rejected the results and rejected Hamas as a political party... The American double standards feed creating more terrorists as a recation everyday.
So we should support the war against policies those creating terrorist before we support the war against terror.

Peace!

Answer 7

Anyone who does not support the war against terror does not realize the plans they have for us.

Answer 8

I hate any war, just like everybody should. But history teaches us that if you do not react vigorously, you will have to fight a large war later. React in as many ways as possible. This is especially true of Arabic cultures. Is it politically incorrect to say that? It's just something that has to be reckoned with.

Answer 9

Yes I do. We can't spend our whole lives living in terror.

Answer 10

Amen!
