    The War on terror - have we won?

    As we know, 9/11 marked the beginning of the "war on terror".

    Thankfully, since then, no atrocities anywhere near that scale have been perpuated against us.

    Do you think that 9/11 could ever be "beaten" (from a terrorist's perspective)?

    And when, if ever, can we declare victory?

      We made a mistake when we declared war on a noun, imho.

      Granted, there are acts that we should never accept as "ok," but terrorism will always be. One person's terrorist is another person's revolutionary.

          Of course it can't be won. Not while there's rampant liberalism. You can't pacify a population trying to make friends with them. Take a page out of the Roman or Nazi hand books and start crushing the civilian population.

          IED attack on US soldiers? Helicopter gunship response on a Mosk. Suicide bombers in the market? Cruise missile response on a school. Eventually they'll smarten up or just die.

              We're probably closer to winning the War on drugs.

                          As weird and disturbing as it looks, it's the true. This is how Israel succesfully fights aginst terrorists.

                              The "war on Terror" is as fake as the "War on Drugs"

                              The War is being created by US foreign policy... support for corrupt and criminal govt s around the world....

                              US govt can end war in a few hours...

                              Ring Isreal...." No support for you guys unless all Palestinians have justice"

                              End illegal blockade of Cuba, slash military spending and start aid program for water, food, job and house for every human on the planet...

                              Support science, allow free debate to expose religious ideas as feudal and backward.

                              Support sexual freedom, freedom for consenting adults to do whatever they want in their own space, womens' rights,

                              Noam Chomsky to have his own TV channel...

                              Every country in the world to have 50% TV from the outside world to get different perspective..

                                  Spoken like a true Repuke who thinks war can solve everything. Wars are not won by people getting tired of losing battles as you seem to think.

                                      Bingo. Time's will change, the balance of power will shift, and perhaps it will be 'normal' to call the US a terrorist state (as we all know, some groups already do, but the difference is in legitimate power - ie, relatively few governments would publicly be calling the US a terrorist state right now).

                                      It's all about what's normal. The 'West' has held the balance of power, has been 'normal' as defined by the opinions of the majority. It's all about perspective!

                                      The whole war on a noun issue I find fascinating as well.... how exactly do you start a conventional war on one side with the other side lacking land boundaries, without state players in most cases, and expect to have a winner?

                                                                  the war on terror isn't occuring on any ground, not in america, not in the middle east. the war on terror is a battle of the self, it's happening in YOUR mind, can you win the battle for yourself? will you let yourself be terrorized?

                                                                                                      all we do is wipe one form of terrorism to make pathway for another. hell, the american people are terrorized on a daily basis by their own media/government. is there really any threat of terror in the united states on a day to day basis beyond the terror instilled it's people on a day to day basis through the 6'o clock news?

                                                                                                      terrorism can hide in any small corner of society, in any nation, with lots of money, or no money at all, work at walmart, learn to build a bomb out of household items surfing the internet. hell, if it were my agenda, I could easily blow up a bomb in a government building without anyone having ever seen it coming. your neighbours grandma could be a "terrorist" for all anyone knows.

                                                                                                      the only way to win the war on terrorism, is to remove the word terror from the english language. this is the only way we will ever make "terror" non-existant...

Its too bad many haven't realized that when Bush says 'Protection', he's really taking away freedoms and rights.

                                                                                                                              The 'War on Terrorism' isn't going so well however. Iraq is still in shambles. The US cannot pull out for many years, and the US $ will continue to plummet due to the funding this war is costing.

Absolutely fucking nothing useful. They live on top of valuable oil, which they can't even pump by themselves for the most part. Seriously, what kind of contributions have they made to modern medicine, science or well anything?

                                                                                                                                      The Jews on the other hand are pretty inventive little buggers and make all kinds of useful things. So as a strictly "how do they improve my life" analysis, seriously, fuck Palestine.

Not until American citizens use democracy to their advantage. Seems to me like this war is really just a cleaver ruse to slowly strip Americans of their rights and freedoms. But their citizens won't realize what is going on until it is way too late. Guantanamo is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Holding prisoners against their will and without due process just because they say they are terrorists? These are special courts where the judges are already admitting that they do not possess the proper jurisdiction to prosecute. They have no appeal system in place yet either. Not that it matters anyways because even if the courts find these people innocent, they are not going anywhere anyways.

                                                                                                                                                  Just this week a Canadian kid who is accused of killing an American soldier when he was just a boy was acquitted on a technicality yet he will remain in prison most likely for the rest of his life because the American government could care less about rights. Sadly, the Canadian government has done little to help this kid out.

                                                                                                                                                  So, is the war on terrorism over? Hell no, it never will be. The laws that have been put in place allow the government to do whatever they want. I'd venture a guess that until the government has a file on everyone, the war on terror will wage on.

                                                                                                                                                          Thankfully, since then, no atrocities anywhere near that scale have been perpuated against us.

                                                                                                                                                          Do you think that 9/11 could ever be "beaten" (from a terrorist's perspective)?

                                                                                                                                                          And when, if ever, can we declare victory?

                                                                                                                                                          Discuss.

Not while there's rampant liberalism. You can't pacify a population trying to make friends with them. Take a page out of the Roman or Nazi hand books and start crushing the civilian population.

Helicopter gunship response on a Mosk. Suicide bombers in the market? Cruise missile response on a school. Eventually they'll smarten up or just die.

Absolutely fucking nothing useful. They live on top of valuable oil, which they can't even pump by themselves for the most part. Seriously, what kind of contributions have they made to modern medicine, science or well anything?
