In other words, how dare anyone disagree with this phony "war on terror" that demands that we attack and occupy countries that had nothing to do with 9/11? How dare anyone question the infinite blank check handed to the President to make war on any country he chooses for any reason? In 1942, we went to war against a state (Japan) that explicitly attacked us. Victory was realized when that state surrendered. Who do we seek surrender from in the "war on terror"? Everybody and nobody. How do we know when we have won? We won't. Hence, the war goes on indefinitely. A "war on terror" is a war on a tactic (terror) that we and Israel as well as our enemies use at will. If we truly wish to make war on terror, then we should start bombing ourselves and Israel as well as our enemies. Obviously, it is not "terror" that motivates the pro-war crowd.
To make comparisons between WW II and the Iraq war is disingenuous. There is no comparison. The former war was fought in self-defense. The current war is a war of conquest and expropriation. How long must America be bled to satisfy PNAC's (Project For The New American Century) dream of world domination?
p>With Lamont, those of us who oppose the war in Connecticut now have a real choice this November, not a phony choice between pro-war Lieberman and some Republican nonentity. br> -- Mike Stamper br> Windsor, Connecticut /p>Fine piece, Mr. Lord. The "loyal opposition," in 2006, is certainly quite different. The Dems, fanatic worshipers of international communism, simply share a common purpose with the Muslim miscreants, fanatic worshipers of Sharia law, the destruction of the U.S. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so to speak. I wonder what the Dems will do when the caliphate blows up the UN?
p>Indeed, we are a long way from 1942. I hope 2 months is time enough to get us there again.
