Global War on Terror

Here’s a post: http://infowars.net/articles/march2007/300307Iran_provocation.htm EDITORIAL: By waging a ‘global war on terror’, the President has one-upped the War on Drugs of his father. People don’t equate drugs with terror, in the wake of September 11th, as something that is ‘recreational’, capable of destroy families right along with the fabric of society. Terror actually destroys the societY. Not metaphoricaly, destroying the society. This is actually blowing up the society, something that you just can’t argue with. And you can’t just turn it off - when does the ‘terror’ stop? When all the terrorists are dead? When you’re fighting a series of unpopular wars collectively deemed an attack against Islam, it’s extremely important to have a specific target demographic of terror suspects, aka Terrorists. We know this is the case, at some level - we make satirical comments about “Is it the terrorists??” (Family Guy episode) and it starts to show up in popular culture. But you don’t want them to turn it off because something else might blow up. What’s so bad about the Global War on Terror? It’s very well funded. It’s politically potent, and especially resilient. It grants wide latitudes concerning military offensives. It’s not limited to any specific national entities. There are no specific, tactical goals - it’s a wide ranging and not restricted to any specific theaters. …..
