Am I the only one?

Am I the only person to think "The War Against Terrorism" Is a Pathetic excuse for GWB to revenge his Father when he backed out of the war yearsssss ago, It's Not like the USA will ever stop Terrorism, look at allot of the people from the middle east they have been fighting for over 2000 yrs and nothing has stopped them yet, If they are going to fight terrorism, why don't they go after Gangs first,(here in the USA) they invoke terror, Even here in the USA they have been fighting the War on Drugs for 30+ years and yet there's heroin, cocaine, cannibus, methanphetimines, even legal drugs like alcohol and perscription drugs that are abused.......is there an end? "Justice Void where Prohibited by Law"

    Actually, I do by into SOME of what you are saying. BUT, the war was not to just save face for Daddy. It's all about oil!!! Plain and simple.

    We were lied to, conned, and scared into believing GW. And now we are loosing precious lives over his lies. I pray for all of our soldiers, but I want them back home!!! I even pray that innocent middle eastern lives are spared. Not EVERY middle eastern person is a terrorist. END THE WAR & SEND OUR AMERICANS BACK HOME!!!

    Sorry to disappoint you, but no one crashed planes into the twin towers or the pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania during Bush 41's term. This is strictly a Bush 43 war. I'm glad we have a president like GWB who's not afraid to go after the little punks. I'm all for nuking Tora Bora off the face of the earth. Then these little piss ant countries like North Korea and Iran can see what we have planned for them next.

    Good point...I think you're right. GWB wants the troops to stay in Iraq because he wanted to finish the mission his father didn't complete. He's already made a mess in Iraq and it would be foolish to leave Iraq and it will take a long time before Iraq will be able to govern itself.

    But yeah, It is sad that we've lost focus on what's also important like trying to improve what's going on in our communities.

    Since there's just so much going on in the world, priority just seems to fall on things like keeping America safe from terrorist attacks.

    It's not Bush's fault, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth. He cares more about the oil overseas, I mean, he cares more about sticking his nose in everybody else's business than he cares about his own nation. What I don't understand is he was caught for wire tapping which is an invasion of privacy and against the law. The woman that ran Hewlett Packard did just about the same thing, and she went to court and later stepped down. Clinton had a wham, bam, thank you mam.... and he got impeached? WTF???

    I completely agree with you, I do not believe "terrorists" are the problem, it is our evil president and our corrupt government that are to blame for all the deaths that have occurred. The U.S. has been going and invading other countries and killing people for years. Why do we always have to butt in and try to save the world? I say we try to fix our own country instead of always worrying about everyone else's problems.
