I appreciate your honesty. What percentage of Muslims do you believe support expanding the reach of Islam through whatever means are available, including force? Am I wrong if it is only 90%? Or 80% or 70%?
Recruitment numbers and amount of attacks wish to say otherwise.
I agree that there are many reasons "why" people become terrorists, but recruitment numbers skyrocketed after we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and become cesspool for terrorist recruitment and terrorist attacks.
Not really.
Well Iraq is not a terrorist hotspot
Fantastic is questionable sense all they have done is just reloacated to Pakistan.
Are you kidding me. When your at "war with terror" i hope it would matter if we are creating more ****ing terrorists.
What the hell are you talking about now?
I prefer we stop ****ing creating terrorists. Do i only have two choices here. Is this the stupid "either you are with us or you are with the terrorists"? Fighting terror with terror does not work.
So are you proposing that we stay at home and absorb the attacks?
In addition to countering terrorists we are also countering pirates. And yet there are more pirates now than when we started. Should we capitulate anytime there are difficulties?
Just admit it. You do prefer murder of American citizens over justice. Do you actually believe we are fighting terror with terror? Do you believe we are targeting civilians for murder in order to achieve a political effect?
Going to war in foreign countries is not how you combat terrorism. War creates more terrorist. And if we are suposedly at a "war on terror" i think creating more terrorists is not very smart. Do you concur? Do you understand?
You are countering a rag tad bunch of pirates who are from a country that does not have a water police agency or no maritime laws around their waters and no boats or agencies to stop these dumping into their waters and the illegal fishing.
:shock:
Yes.
We have targeted civilian populations. Purposely or not... Look up the definition of "terror": The use of such fear to intimidate people, esp. for political reasons
Your a hack plain and simple.
I believe a unstable "democracy", violence everyday via terrorism, a failed government is a failed state
Why the hell is Noam Chomsky in this debate?
Yes and the Iraqis didnt want us to leave right? Were they not calling for us to leave? What would happen if the US stayed? Take Vietnam for example we stayed there for a **** ton longer and look nothing ****ing changed just more and more American lives for no reason
:doh
I see. Are you an expert then on counter-terrorism? Or have you just read a leftist blog or two?
You look up the definition. You need it far more than I do. And if you really believe the US troops are committing crimes why aren't you reporting them and insisting on trials?
It is true that I am simple. I despise socialists, Marxists, Communists, liberals and progressives. You are all dangerous to our liberties when you come into power.
So your argument is that if a state is under attack it is a failed state. Gotcha.
The article you referenced begins by saying it is based on Noam Chomsky's assumptions about failed states.
The one term Marxist flexible president Barrack Hussein Obama failed at fundamental foreign policy. Our presence provided stability. Our absence has emboldened our enemies.
I used to read Foreign Policy, the printed quarterly journal regularly when I was still a lieutenant in the Army. I was smart but not wise. Once I realized that most of the articles were written by left-wing, Anti-American intellectuals, I grew wiser and stopped reading it.
Not its called a opinion because i based it off the current wars creating more terrorists.
I just did: "The use of such fear to intimidate people, esp. for political reasons"
I never stated they are committing crimes.
Dear god you have nothing to contribute to this debate
Not invade a country.
