>That's another thread, or two, or five, buddy.
That's right friend, might as well make it six. It's a little difficult to spot the thread it should be in, but you and your contradictory ways are easily spotted.
I love it when presidents declare war on non-countries. War on drugs, crime, terror. Traditional wars could at least end with signing a treaty. Are you going to round up Zarqawi and friends to sign a piece of paper. There's no end to this "war." The president is too chickshit to say it.
Terror management does not end. The terror is already a global crisis, but by staying in Iraq the terror comes to us. Iraq is proving to be a surprisingly good buffer zone. It's a wonder why these terrorists don't spend their money more wisely and attack at the root of their problem. Winning the war would mean staying in Iraq FOREVER. Until the terrorists take a different approach anyway.
Do you even hear yourself? You want preventative measures, yet you don't. You want to police the world, yet you want isolation. You don't want people to fuck with you, but fucking other people over is just fine. If everyone had this immature self-centered world view terrorists wouldn't be the only immediate problem.
I'll tell you when this war will end: When we get someone with fiscal sanity back in the president's seat. While we're hemorrhaging money daily, our Chinese masters are preparing their steamroller.
