Apparently ...Wow, talk about real "thinkers" here. Apparently combating terrorism has nothing to do with "promoting goodness" in your view? That's just ludicrous. Sadly, it's going to take another tragedy along the lines of 9-11 to make people realize..."Oh, yeah. I forgot. We don't really want to sit on our backsides and let the terrorists kill and maim at will without any consequence." Nah, instead, here's a fine idea: Let's invite them to tea and see if we can organize some peace. When will you wake up and realize that there is no way to reason with TERRORISTS????<BR/> <BR/>Our response in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. has not CREATED more terrorists. It has just drawn attention to them and now the world has a better idea of how many of them there are. I wish that we, the American public (and the entire world), could see the long list of terrorists who've been captured or killed in the last few years. Yet I suppose even then you would say that doesn't make anyone safer. You'd probably be in line to defend them in court, instead.

Whether or not you personally cast your ballot for him is irrelevant; as a member of this democracy, we are beholden to the decisions of the majority. This one man you are eager to blame was put there by the entire population, whether by their apathy or their active support.<BR/><BR/>"His government" is the one we as a population voted into office. We cannot divest ourselves of responsibility without washing our hands of the democratic process itself. If we weren't tacitly accepting his decisions, we would be making more than just a fuss.<BR/><BR/>--Steve F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929434.post-1158001685029749422006-09-11T13:08:00.000-06:002006-09-11T13:08:00.000-06:00It seems you are blameing the whole U.S. for Georg...It seems you are blameing the whole U.S. for George Bush. You are aware that most people in the U.S. don't support George Bush? I think many people think that the war on terror was handled poorly. You say no one has learned or nothing has got better but you only list problems created by one man and his government. I think lots of people have learned from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
