The war on terror is a bunch of bullshit! I've said it many times, you cannot have a war against an ideology. There is no tangible enemy and no way to predict an ending. We are now in a perpetual state of war with no end in sight. And because of this, the government is taking away our rights, playing the god-damn fear card everytime they want un-Constitutional legislation passed (ie, MCA, Patriot Act, etc.) that is just accepted by the many chicken-littles of this country because they think there's a terrorist on every street corner.
This is the same lame rap they [the government] used in the War on Drugs, War on Crime and War on Whatever. And the same organizations that fought and lost those wars, are fighting this one too! I don't buy the rap. You know what the War on Terror means to me? If I see UBL in my neighborhood, I notify the AHJ. And that's all it means to me. If I see a crime, I report it. That's it.
What we need to do is question why our defense budget is over $500 million next fiscal year. That's 44 times more than the next country in line (China). Does anyone know that this war in Iraq is costing every single household in the United States $18,000.00 dollars a year.
