In all fairness in regards to the fear card, we are still technically at war with terrorism. Terrorists did kill nearly 3,000 Americans on our own soil. Terrorists are still trying to perpetrate more acts of violence here in America, although so far we are doing a good job of foiling their attempts.
We have always been at war with terrorism, at least in my lifetime. We will always be at war with it.
Its time we faced up to that. We will be at war with them for the rest of our lives. Oh well win it, but its going to take 100 years.
A little known historical fact, its not Politically correct and doesn't fit into the digestible historical reality people create themselves, is that Islam has been at war with non-Islam since the days of Muhammad. Even the crusades were defensive measures by Christianity against a religious movement that was sweeping into Europe and putting non-believers to the sword. People spittle the Crusades were about money?
Thats a good one. Name one Catholic monarch who made a dime off the crusades. The reality is they lost $$ big time funding them, and only one had any initial success anyway.
I served my country in a Muslim country and was often shown great kindness from the people there. I find much to admire both of the people and the religion. But the simple fact is Islamic fundamentalism has been fighting a war of conquest since the beginning and were going to spend the rest of our lives fighting them, the terrorists! And another simple fact is that much of the Islamic world has funded the operations of the groups thru history, either knowing, or not knowing, their money was going direct towards the operational end of Fundamentalist terror. Or Jihad.
I dont think Obama understands this. I think that like Bill Klinton and Jimmy Carter before him he will care much more about INTL public opinion then he will Americas safety. I think he will short change our military, underfund them, and lower their morale. And worse of all, even worse then all this, I think he will allow that wretched house of illegitimate mongrels, otherwise known as The United Nations, to gain control over American life and American policy, both foreign and domestic.
Sorry, but Ive seen this act before. And at least Klinton and Carter had experience running states in the Union before taking the oath. What has this guy run? Besides being an errand boy for Rich Daley and the corrupt Illinois Political combine.
