why are most Americans supporting terrorists and not the war?

Answer 1

Well let's see... Bin Laden still lives, Al Qaeda has thrived since our occupation of Iraq. Yeah, I guess we are supporting the terrorists.

Answer 2

You're making a huge mistake here and it's putting everything in black and white. It's polarization of issues. What everyone does to win an argument.
If A is bad and you don't support B, you're with A and as a consequence you're bad too. It's not like that.

Not supporting the war doesn't mean supporting the terrorists. This war is not doing anything to the terrorists. It's hurting the US citizens that are paying for it with taxes and family members. It's hurting the Iraq population by making them live in the middle of a war.
If you respect the Constitution, you shouldn't support the war because it's illegal. The requirements established by the Constitution to start a war by declaring it and moving the army overseas have not been fulfilled.
From a practical point of view, the terrorist killed three thousands and you're putting all that resources to take revenge, loosing three thousands more so far, while in 2005 almost 1.5 million were victims of violent crimes, over 15 thousands were murdered, almost one hundred thousands were raped and more than 10 million crimes were commited against property.
The killing of three thousands was a horrible crime, no doubt about it, but it was a crime and should be treated as a crime. The second you turn that into a political issue, that's what happens. The government gets card blanche to use YOUR resources any way it wants. The crime statistics are your everyday problem and the government spends a hundred times more to solve the OTHER problem. And for every dollar spent, 99,9 cents are unaccounted for or waste in over payments or paid in bribes or....

Don't polarize the issues. If you support the war state your case clearly and you shall be listened.

Answer 3

Geeez:

Opposing the war is not the same as supporting terrorists. A war like Bush is running makes the US the terrorists so opposing the war is opposing terrorists. I remember one incident in partyicular. before the US invaded, US intellignce thought Saddam's two sons were at a restaurant so they bombed the restaurant, killing many of the patrons but not the sons. Does that not sound like a terrorist act? I think GWB should be tried as a war criminal for that activity alone, let alone Abu Graab, Gitmo, the Patriot Act, the lies about WMD, etc. It doesn't help that tons of US soldiers are being tried for rape and murder.

The war is not reducing terrorism. Iraq had no terrorists before the invasion. Saddam was busy harassing his own population. The terrorists were in Aghanistan and Pakistan and Yemen, not Iraq. Now, since the invasion of Iraq, Iraq is a mecca (pun intended) for terrorists. Every day about 60 Iaqi civilians die as a result of the war.

Answer 4

Not many Americans support the terrorists. Although, America is a multi-cultural society, so there can be people who are more loyal to their family in Irak or Iran than to America. Other than that, most Americans do not support terrorists. And even though it isnt funny, some make jokes that they do, but they dont mean it. You may be slightly misinformed.

Answer 5

They don't understand what they're doing and the affect that their actions have on America, our soldiers and Marines, and our enemies. They really don't understand and I'm not sure why since to many, the affects of their actions is obvious.

There's a bizarre sort of naivety to their actions. "Bring our soldiers home and everything will be okay." Um, no, it won't. And the ramifications would be catastrophic both at home and in Iraq that we wouldn't recover for decades and Iraq wouldn't recover, perhaps, ever. And they seem to believe that this will be good for our troops too, despite the fact that the vast majority of our troops support this effort and are determined to succeed in their mission. But such realities don't phase them. And I find that fascinating. Heck, you're dealing with a segment of the U.S. population that genuinely believes that terrorism is not a significant or even a real threat to America or the world despite all that has happened not just here at home but around the world as well. It's sort of a 'bury your head in the sand' mentality. So, again, it's fascinating.

And yet, I refuse to believe that they're so self interested or that their political ambitions are so selfish that they'd actually support terrorism over America's interests. It's just that defeatism ALWAYS benefits the enemy. So I think it's just sort of a coincidence that their defeatism coincides with the interests of our enemies, although sometimes I wonder.

Answer 6

Where the hell do you see Americans, let alone "most" Americans supporting terrorists? Turn Fox News off and get some sunshine.

Answer 7

The terrorist is just a name made up to scare Americans because 9-11 was an inside job. Most of those fighting in Iraq are freedom fighters that hates us for invading and occupying their land. If someone invaded America wouldn't you fight to protect your country. The real terrorist is in our own government that is taking away our Constitution and our freedoms. This is the most corrupt administration in history and they must be stopped. Support Impeachment now or sow what you weep.

Answer 8

Who are the terrorists? I think a clear definition of terrorist needs to be implemented. I think Bush is a terrorist. He invaded a foreign land because he has enemies there. He bombed them killing thousands of innocent people in the process. Osama Bin Laden goes into foreign lands because he has enemies there. He bombs places and kills innocent people in the process. What is the difference?
Bush has perpetrated existing tensions. He has validated the hate people felt with the United States by going into Iraq even though it had nothing to do with 9/11. He is a moron and has now jeopardized the safety of the United States.

Answer 9

Ok, lets look at this false dichotomy you're creating here. You either support terrorists or the war? I'm sorry, but I support neither. Terrorists kill, war kills, and neither are justified. So sorry to disappoint you, but try not to make a question based off a widely believed fallacy next time.

Answer 10

not sure what your question but perhaps this will answer your question

Read below

Jones' panel recommended scrapping Baghdad's national police force and starting over.

The U.S. has spent $19.2 billion developing Iraq's forces and plans to spend another $5.5 billion next year. According to Jones' study, the Iraqi military comprises more than 152,000 service members operating under the Ministry of Defense, while the Ministry of Interior oversees some 194,000 civilian security personnel, including police and border control.

The review is one of several studies Congress commissioned in May, when it agreed to fund the war for several more months but demanded that the Bush administration and outside groups assess U.S. progress in the war.
