Declaring war on a noun is pretty silly to begin with.
You mean like the War on Poverty?
The Republicans / Bush, let's face it, it's Bush... want the American public to be affraid.
Fear and vigilence are to different things. Learn the difference
Fear is used as a political tool to control the masses and influence public opinion.
You mean like "the Republicans are going to kick grandma out on the street", "elect Bush and another Black Church will burn", "Bush and Ashcroft are facsists", etc?
The conventional wisdom tells us, the more scared we are, the more likely we will elect Bush (The first time!).
There is that tired old line.
I think America is pretty sick and tired of being "scared".
So then lets eliminate the threat instead of attacking the President and then they won't have anything to be scared about.
Let's run this through the washer again, Bin Laden attacked us, so we went to war in Iraq.
We also went into Afghanistan, but it happened so fast that you probably didn't notice it. Not only was Iraq training terrorists, but the conditions in the Middle-east as a whole are what is causing the problem to begin with. The only way to fix it for the long term is to go in and actively restructure those systems that breed terrorists. What is so difficult to understand about this.
Just imagine that the terrorists are Bush, then you'll be angry enough to take them on.
Yeah, this really makes sense to me.
Now that I've read over enough of your posts to get a feel for where you are coming from, I wouldn't expect you to.
