We are losing the War on Terrorism
I met the Big Man, aka the Kid from Brooklyn, at our Atlantic Antics street fair the other day - it is huge and over a million people visit. I picked up some of his merchandise - shirt, pens, etc. And, it was hot on Sunday!

I don't think any of them had a word to say to him. This is a man with guts. :clap:

We are losing the War on Terrorism I was watching the news this morning when I saw a story about the Pope apologizing for his recent speech which had angered Muslims around the world. The Pope apologizing for anything is pretty big news and it made me think "why this time?". Is he a kinder, gentler Pope? Or, did it less to do with the fact that he made some imprpoer comments and more to do with just who it was that he upset? The simpleton currently residing in the White House would have us believe we are winning the war on Rating: 5

So who's this guy? He's not known down in these parts.

OK, I see now that I saw that last clip. A sort of local color "character" who's becoming reknowned in his own unique way . . . .

We are losing the War on Terrorism
I don't really like the phrase "war on terror", or "war on drugs" for that matter. Only Congress can declare war, and it hasn't, not on 'terrorists' nor on 'drugs'. So these aren't wars we're fighting, and I wish people would stop using that label. Skirmishes, battles, conflicts, okay, whatever, but not wars.
And if Congress did want to declare war, who would they even declare war on? Declarations of war have traditionally always been against sovereign nations, but there is no nation called 'Terrorism'. And if you name a specific *person* as that target in a declaration of war (Osama, for example), then if we kill Osama, would the 'war' be over? Of course not, as his number 2 would step into the leadership position and things would continue.
Also, when you are fighting a war, you have a set of realistically achievable victory conditions, and when those goals have been accomplished, the war is over, you won, and your soldiers go home. In this 'war on terror', what are those victory conditions? That no one left alive in the world will hate the Western way of life enough to perpetrate violence upon it? That's obviously not realistic. And yet...is that not our apparent goal? If so, then A) we are going about it the wrong way (more people hate us now than ever); and B) our soldiers will *never* get to come home because our goals are too unrealistic to ever come to fruition, no matter how long we wage this 'war'.

I think you missed the point. You're just thinking like Dubya. If we lose culturally, what's the point. That's just what they wanted all along. Will it really matter if Iraq and Iran become the 51st and 52nd states; but everyone in the world has to wear a head scarf and carry a copy of the Koran just so we don't offend them??
