Terrorism is when civilians are targeted.
--------------------------------------------------
How can you count those as terrorist attacks, in Iraq we have placed ourselves on the battlefield with the terrorists in an effort to draw them into the fight.
Would it not be more fair to say that the US went into Iraq to ensure " stability " [ read : make sure our oil supply is good ] in the region . Of course the tons and tons of weapons of mass destruction discovered did away with that theory .. what am i talking about.

Explain how taking more and more steps to limit our freedom is going to guarantee freedom for years to come.
Explain how progressively eliminating the protections of the Constitution will ensure that our way of life continues.
Just another junk article attempting to rouse the mob.
It causes me to loose sleep when we agree, Professor. I was stationed in Europe in the mid-70's. Then, it was the Bader-Meinhoff gang shooting at us. Whose fault was that? There will always be fanatics and targets of opportunity.
The Professor's right. Every time I go through airport security, I am saddened for our loss of constitutional freedoms. I'm even more saddened at the " false sense" of security at the expense of those freedoms. There will always be fanatics and targets of opportunity.
Well said.

A poorly trained, poorly equipped and
poorly
organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was
doomed from the start
Welcome to Delta. I think this is an insult to the men that died on that mission and a slur on the reputation of Delta. This aritcle is a crock of shit. Taking various unrelated attacks and bunching them all together to try and provide a timeline for a mythical coordinated terror group that simply doesn't exist. This is very simplistic xenophobic attempt to justify the errosion of civil liberties at 'home' and the errosion of international law under the non sensical GWOT.

I believe, as do many others, that this is the biggest threat ever, to free world nations! Bigger than Hitler.
We are fighting a threat that is hiding behind a religion! Radical Islam.
There stated position is to eliminate (non-believers) or rule everyone in the world. Either agree with or submit to, their views or die. It is that simple. This current situation (IMO) has nothing to do with who was or is president.
When that attack happens the rest will recognize this.
I believe we currently have a president that sees this threat for what it is. Do you? (not meant for the poster to whom I respond to)

it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

And I think a great many right wingers have forgotten who attacked us on 9/11. (Hint - it was not the Iraqi insurgents, or the Palestinians, or the Iranians.)
>I believe, as do many others, that this is the biggest threat
>ever, to free world nations! Bigger than Hitler.
The "biggest threat ever" was communism. You may not have been around back then, but be assured that we were all facing certain death at the face of the insane, power-hungry communists. They would stop at nothing to see their ideology spread all over the world, and would kill anyone who stood in their way. And they had nuclear weapons. Al Qaeda doesn't.
This is just another scare article, trying to get fear to replace reason. The more fear, the easier people are to control. Machiavelli's "The Prince" has a good overview of how the State can control a populace, and making them afraid is one of the best ways there is.

No scare tactic. It is the truth you fail to recognize. (again, this is my and many others opinions) Militant Islamic Facsisim is the enemy. There is only one way to get rid of this threat. Eliminate it. Iraq is but one step to that end.
I agree there is a power hungry group involved here. Your problem is you mis-indientify it. It is not the US. Never has been and it will not be under this president!

Like I said, same story, different day. Did we have to kill all the commies to win that war?

The rest of the world now disagrees.
>Oh, and I was around back then. This war is bigger than that ......
Then I suspect you've never had to dive under your desk during civil defense drills. We all knew total annihilation was just around the corner. And the USSR had the means to do it - wipe out every major US city within half an hour.
To claim that this is a bigger threat than that is ludicrous. You're letting your fear guide you if you really think that.

You are fooling yourself.......
so, this current enemy you are fighting can wipe the US off the map in 30 minutes with their nuclear weapons?

Holy crap. Do you realize how badly you are being played? The only buzz word you've not repeated from RushOReillyHannitySavage etc. is "World War 3". Or did I miss that one?
Yea. I was on a nuclear base, so we were always the lovely target of the week.
