Just as it sounds, it's a rebellion...not a terrorist army being led by one or two people.
Radical Islam is tapping into a very broad and deep sense of rage and frustration spread throughout the world.
If you want to call it a "war" then we're just arguing semantics...but it's an important discinction because it explains a lot of the Administration's behavior...
they fully understand what's going on.
Fundamentally, we are not at war with radical Islam. Radicalisim is a very serious exacerbating factor, but it's not the
root cause.
Hence Bush asserting that he wasn't really concerned with the location of Osama...which shocked everyone.
Why do you think the Administration has literally ignored the recomendations of the 9/11 comission on making our country more secure?
They don't see they short term threat as a high priority because it distracts from the bigger picture.
The notion of making the Middle East more democratic is the right line of thinking, but the execution has been unconscionable.
What's ironic is that for all the "liberal" bashing done by the GOP and their sheep, supporters of this Administration have been
duped into supporting a very
liberal foreign policy!
Neoconservatisim at it's core is as liberal and undemocratic as authortarian socialisim.
Look at the pissing on the US Constitution, the extreme secrecy and the rampant disregard for International legal and moral institutions that
we as a country helped form.
This isn't just random, or even incompetence...a new world order is being rammed down our throats...
And people like Skippy think the problem is Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
Social conservatives are being manipulated as well, but I'll avoid that so I don't annoy a certain someone
The solution to the threat of terrorisim lies in the
magic that's America, but we're just too terrorized by our own leadership to see it...
