WAR ON TERROR MEET WAR ON DRUGS
I wonder if the writer of the letter "Top Priority Must Be The War On Terror" is working as a hired public propagandist?
I mean, just the way this guy wrote his letter, it leads one to think that he alone has inside knowledge on how to confront a problem which Bush has wasted our military strength and over $9 trillion dollars trying to beat? (Okay, so half that money went to his business cronies as tax cuts for the rich--but let's not get too ahead of ourselves here...)
Ronald Reagan pledged (back in 1984), to wage a "war" on drugs. And in the 23 years since, drugs are still here.
So what makes the writer so sure that we can win against a few extremist groups whom have no aspirations for world domination? (As he sees it?)
No nation has fallen to these extremist groups, no military has been subverted, but curiously enough, we have gone on some kind of moralistic/religious crusade to do what?
Bring the fight to the enemy? Try to stamp them out militarily? Stoop to their level of insanity?
Seven years have passed since Bush has infamously declared his silly war on terror. But terrorism is something that cannot be defeated by mere force alone. It has to be dealt with politically, economically, and socially--on all fronts. All at once.
Otherwise--like the war on drugs--terrorism is going to be here.
No matter who is President. Or what his or her priority is.
