When you have a war your President can do lots of things he could not do otherwise. He can trample on peoples privacy and civil rights, he can get military spending passed virtually unopposed and he has a more or less free hand in use of the armed forces.
The controlling factor, however, is that the coutry must be at war.
The solution, don't declare war on a specific country, declare war on something as intangible and rootless as terror. Say the coutry which offers sanctuary to terrorists will be considered to be at war, but then change the rules to allow any country to be attacked just by claiming that terrorists or WMD's could be there.
Then attack Afganistan in pursuit of Bin Ladin and when he is not found there say "well we thought he was"
Then attack Iraq after saying you think he has WMD's but when they are not found there say "well we thought there was"
Then Iran? Then where? Britain has found some terrorists there too so is the UK fair game? After Iran, who?

You are a smart man, wish there were more of you out there. Scarey to say but the real victims are the people of the U.S.

Do you really want an answer to that question? You might be surprised to find out that there a few, if any that agree with your statement. The others (an overwhelming majority for some reason) will disagree with you. So it begs the question, who really is in favor of this "war on terror." You'll never get an answer to this question along with the answer to why the war ever started in the first place. But it is good to see that there are others who share my sentiment. Good show, chap.

Well put - couldn't agree with you more. No more attacking people just because the US president is not keen on them. I can understand if lots of smaller countries are rushing to get nuclear arms as it seems to be the only way of protecting yourself from the US.

You make perfect sense. Do not stop attempting to educate others on this topic.
Kels needs to branch out and quit hanging out with narrow-minded people!
And in comes Winston with the snide, back-handed comment meant to make the asker feel bad. Don't buy it! Winston is being demeaning on purpose to appeal to your mean side. Don't buy it!

How right you are. There are some other skyscrapers I find too high in United States.
Lower, smaller and weaker would be better for America, isn't it?
Thank to Allah there are people like you.
