Do you believe the scope of the Global War on Terrorism should be limited to Al Quaida?

Answer 1

As truth would have it, the war on terrorism has not been focused centrally to Al Quaida altho the media mis-leads people to believe that by giving Al Quaida so much copy...

The war on terrorism began 23 years ago...imagine that...? ...not in Iraq or Afghanistan either...

There are 28 countries around the world with nuclear capability and they have been watched over for many years in various ways such as spies, satellite, infiltration and of many other means...

For years there have been suicide bombings and espionage in most all first world countries including America... As well, were there militant operatives behind these acts that were not of Al Quaida while yet the growth of Al Quaida's movement did not go un-noticed...

The greatest threat forseen by peaceful nations was that of the ability for Al Quaida to achieve nuclear power weapons from a few of those 28 countries with nuclear capability... The terrorist side of Pakistan, as an example...

Too soon we forget when a storm calms down, right...? Where are the eight nuclear missiles that were in Russia when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics broke apart...we know of one...where are the others...? Russia sells armaments to terrorists, right...? Hmmmm...!!!

9-11 was the straw that broke the camel's back...we had to do something and that something was in the heart of the region...Iraq...! Saddam was training Al Quaida soldiers for terrorism and there certainly truly was evidence of WMD found later as well as an armament of biological warfare of chemical weapons as well as proof of the 5000 people he murdered with intentions of genicide of one of their three sectarian groups occupying Iraq...

After 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the world came to realize that Al Quaida was a greater force than previously thought and he accomplished his growth worldwide by re-interpreting the Islamic scriptures...

"All Muslims worldwide will fight as warriors to defeat the infidels (free countries) and those that cannot fight must support the warriors or they too are the infidels and they must die ! Those non-muslim that will oath to the Ejad will live !"

As long as Al Quaida remains the biggest threat to peace, the greatest focus will continue to be upon him, and it should be, while yet, other movements are really not being set aside at all...

Ummmm...hate to be so boring here...oops... Sooo...must add at least a little humour...lol

Lest we forget...after 9-11 George Bush, Jr. could walk on water and today he is drowning in it...GULP...!

Meanwhile, I don't hear explosions in my back yard and there are no bullets whizzing overhead....

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR...bring our trroops home safely when peace is found...

Answer 2

How is it a "Global War on Terrorism" if your primary target is a single organization that was chosen for being a problem to America?

Meanwhile, Irish terrorists that have attacked British soldiers and bombed, tortured and shot civilians across Northern Ireland have enjoyed a mixture of responses from the US - a blind eye, tolerance and sometimes even support.

There are dozens of other terrorist problems all over the globe. If you want to call it a "Global War on Terrorism", address them all. Because assuming you can completely destroy Al Qaeda, I seriously doubt the US is going to turn their military and resources towards destroying the PIRA, Abu Sayaf, PKK, Hamas, FARC, ELN et all afterwards.

Call it a "Global War on Al Qaeda" or something like that and it will be alright. Just change the name, it's so misleading.

Answer 3

that's only a spin that Bush places on each and every thing, like slicing classes to assist the undesirable, "they have been wasteful and not working besides." Or how on the subject of the biggest lie of all, "we are slicing taxes for all and sundry around the board" while we as human beings understand that it replaced right into a tax cut back for the very wealthy. So battling terrorist on their own floor is only yet another spin for I have been given you in this conflict in line with a lie and now we are "caught in Iraq" I ought to make up something to justify 10 billion money a month going to this lost reason.

Answer 4

I think it should be broadened to all terrorist groups acting on al-qaida principles (if they do have) ..remember al-qaida is no more a single group ..its more like an idea ...many terrorists organizations work like it but they inspired the idea and not necessary to be in direct link to bin-laden

Answer 5

Absolutely not.

Add to the list Abu Sayef, Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, PKK, et al...

Answer 6

Yes. Focus on one enemy at a time instead of taking on the
whole world. That is al-Qaida's weakness-they have a list
of enemies that include just about everybody. They can't beat
the whole world.

Answer 7

It would be a good start if it was at least focused on al Qaeda.

Answer 8

Good question!
Personally, I think the scope should be broadened to include all "MUSLIM" terrorists and non-Muslims that support them.

Answer 9

I think it should be limited to rational, attainable goals and effective methods.

Answer 10

No. It should include Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, PKK, and others.
