War on Terror and Weapons of Mass Destruction are the funniest words of this century. \nTruely speaking, the superpower countries like USA,Russia,Germany,Britain,China have enough nuclear, hydrogen and bio-chemical bombs that is more than enough to completely destroy the whole EARTH leaving no bit of it.

Dont believe everything you read or hear. The war in Iraq is not \nabout terror. It was about replacing Saddam Hussains Gov.,\nwhich has been done. Terrorism will never cease, because folks \ndont want us telling their countries how to live their lives, no more \nthan we want them telling us. Time for us to come home.

I was told earlier today that 'War on Terror' is 'political narrative', its an ideal, an abstract concept that gains popular belief in order to justify a political action. It has no bearing on why those actions are being performed at all. Which makes sense for me anyway.

More and more people are disbelieving Bush's war against terror.  I listen to Republic Broadcasting Network, www.rbnlive.com, and they say Bush knew about 911 and used it to start his fake war.  I believe them....

Congress did not declare "War on Terror." The term is used only in rhetoric and originated from the executive branch.\nSince this isn't a formal war, it may not have a formal end time and may be used as an excuse for encroaching on civil liberties for many administrations to come if the American people are not careful.

To begin with we need to identify the enemy. This is not a war against "terrorism" This is a global war against radical Islam. \n\nPeople believe that Al Qeada is the head of the snake. Al Qeada is a subset in the real issue of spreading radical Islam. \n\nFrom there we put pressure on countries allowing religious schools to stay open that teach hatred in the name of Islam. It is up to the moderate Islamics in the world to stop radical Islam. non-Muslims cannot stop it they can only fight it. And we will continue to do so until we get help from moderate nations and people of the Middle East. Abbas and the Fatah party in Palestine are fighting a front in the global war against radical Islam against Hammas. We need more groups like the Fatah party to step up throughout the world in places like Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, and Chechnya. An Islamic based group that does not believe so much in violence.  \n\nThat is what we can do about radical Islam/terrorism

Listen up. There "is" no losing or winning. It's impossible to win a war against terrorism. It "is" possible to prevent people from doing terrorist acts, but it's impossible to stop them trying.\n\nSo i would have to say we'll never win, nor lose.\n\n(For everyone who jumps on me because i said it was a war on terrorism and not oil, you need to get your facts straight. The war began in afganistan. We drove Osama out, making him hide in a dark hole in Pakistan. They attacked Saddam to make sure he didn't have anymore weapons of mass destruction left over from the times of the Kurds that he could sell to Osama.)

War can only be declared on a recognized country.  Since Al-Qaeda is not a country, we have not done that.  We did declare war on Afghanistan when the Taliban were there and supporting Al-Qaeda.  We won and Taliban has been pushed out of power in Afghanistan.

You don't.  That's the nature of terrorism.  This whole concept of a "war on terrorism" is laughable, because you fight terrorism, but you can't win.  Citizens of a democratic republic such as the USA expect to have too many freedoms, and you can't competently fight terrorism without infringing upon some of those freedoms.\n\nTerrorism and terrorist acts have always been around and always will be.  Anybody remember the Boston Tea Party?  Guess what folks, that was an act of terrorism.

Isn't this a wonderful country that you can say these things without facing a firing squad?  Of course, you may not be an American & you probably don't remember or care why the war on terrorism began. If America allows terrorists to plot, infiltrate & attack at will, we will soon have no need for things like a national health care program.\nIf you are indeed an American, you should realize that this war is not a game, it is real.  We are in real danger. And our freedom does not come cheap. But, it is our troops, led by our president that are willing to make the supreme sacrifice so disrespectful cowards like you can continue to say whatever you want, whenever you want.

Both the Cold War and the War on Terror are open-ended wars with no clear enemy.  This allows the U.S. Government to use it to go against elements it deems dangerous...all it had to do back in the 50s was label those elements "communists"...now it labels them "terrorists"

I was just wondering that myself. Surely the war on terror is akin to "kill the sinner, stop the sin"? Way to go George...(slow, ironic clapping)

the war on terror in un-winnable. it is a battle of ideals. you cannot change people's way of thinking with brute force as the u.s. is doing. it has to come slowly over many generations. \n\neconomic properity and independance with what makes people more moderate and secular. extremism is born out of ignorance, lack of education or extremist teachings, and is so deep seeded in someone, it doesn't matter what you do to them. \n\nthere is no winner in the war on terror, the world is more unsafe now than before 911 because of the u.s. invading iraq under false pretenses. \n\nvery sad and i hope the world will forgive us, and realize it was 5 stupid men who led us to this place.
