my first thought to this question was 'when hell freezes over and all the jihadist go ice skating'\n\nbut seriously, this is not something that can belegislated and enforced.  it comes down to getting over our fear of each other by reaching out and trying to at least understand where the other side is comming from.\n\nsometimes i have hope this will happen in time,  other times it's just depressing to think about

First of all, bringing Democracy & freeing the oppressed is not policing the world, it's the American way & the olny moral thing to do. De Oppresso Libre\n\nSecond, yes we should. Yes it could become a wider war against the extremist branch of Islam, but that's what we're already fighting & can't bring them to decisive battle. Yes you are talking about a big hairy problem, especially given the delicate nature of Iraq, but the right thing to do is bring this evil philosophy to battle where we can destroy it. \n\nIs that what we will do? No. We'll use mostly airstrikes against nuclear facilities, gut their military, & attempt to take out the Guardian Council & President. There will also be some major special operations actions against certain facilities that we cannot destroy from the air w/o use of nuclear weapons (which we won't be using). This will delay development for 2-5 years. We will follow this with an external campaign to elect reformers & overthrow the theocratic rule. That will be less successful. We will be attacked by terrorists for taking this action, and it will have been worth teh price to keep Muslim extremist from having a nuclear weapon, or scientest with the knowledge of how to make one suddenly being rented out to al Qaeda, or perhaps every other Islamic Country that dislikes America or Israel.

Terrorism is not up here.In my logic that says we were right the rest of the world was wrong.And also in my logic you should kill the guilty not the Innocent.\nWhy is liberal logic just the opposite?\nAs to selling peace,we were, they just didn't buy .You can't feed a tiger carrots.

Very good link, Pops but you are missing the point!  Liberals say things to garner votes (which way is the wind blowing?) not to make the world safer.  They don't even believe we are in a war, just arrest a few terrorists and haul them into US courts to mete out fines - Poof! - problem ended.  If you read the link below you will get a very different impression of what Bush must deal with (without liberal support).

Only if we continue to live our lives and focus on enjoying our liberty and don't let them take our liberty through fear away from us.\n\nThe war will continue until the end of time, religious war has been on the earth since organized religion was born.  How we deal with hate and it's horrible effects on peace loving people around the world will ultimately determine if we are successful in defeating hate filled terrorists and their divisive endeavors.\n\nWe also need to support our troops who ultimately deal with those who hate our way of life most face-to-face bravely.\n\nThis is not a typical war and the theatre of operation is world wide, it’s a new day and we as peace loving people need to understand conventional warfare as our grand fathers and fathers knew it is over.

I have no idea why people are so against our military. My only guess is that they are liberal jack a**es that listen to the media too much. I personally believe that we should be in this War on Terror. And yes the question of what good it would do if we turned the other cheek, also ask yourself what good it would do for our country if we let the terrorist think that they could come over here kill thousands of people and get away with it.

I think, the last thing this country needs, is the destructiveness of another liberal administration.  The security of this country went to hell, as well as the military preparedness under the clinton White house.  The failure of the liberals during those shameful years led up to the problems we have today.  Their failure to respond in kind to the acts of Islamic extremists, gave our enemies the courage to continue their attacks.\n\nIt wasn't until 9/11 and a new administration that we finally showed the world, we had the stones to confront our enemy!\n\nHere we are five years later, defending our actions against our mortal enemy, to the same slim that failed top do their job when the need to defend ourselves was present!  It's time we tell these decadent, irresponsible do-gooders that we know they can't lead, we know they won't follow, so they better just get their sorry butts out of the way!

Another fanatical moslem. The world will be a better place when the peace loving peoples of the world realize the danger that Islam poses and decide that to create a better world all of Islam needs to be destroyed or quarantined within their own lands. Just like any disease\n\n"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war." \n\nAnn Coulter for President !!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely NOT! Libs want terrorists to have rights...just like they want to give rights to criminals. \nYou are a good American for pointing out another blemish in liberalism!

I don't see a problem with that.... lets do it.... I think that is the best option I have heard about this war. I mean if they don't agree to help each other and build a united country. Then why should we have to sit and take the sucide bombers?\n\nThe above user posted about Islam and that is the arab way. I seem to agree with that statement.

great point.  Liberals seem ready to defend the lives of terrorists, but not of innocent babies.  We can't kill someone who is threatening to kill us, but a woman can take the life of an innocent child, b/c it is her "Constitutional right"  what about the Constitutional rights of the child?  Or don't they have any????  Just another example of how backwards liberals are.\n\np.s.  not that I think its great to kill terrorists...in a perfect world there wouldn't be any, and noone would have to kill...but that is in a perfect world.

It depends on your point of view. \n\nIf you believe the ends justify the means, then yes -  it would be an ideal solution. There's some correlation to some laws today. Terrorism laws in general. Most Americans accept or tolerate their emails/phone calls being recorded in the hopes of catching the .001% who might do harm.\n\nThere's a bigger philosophical issue, though. Is it truly a society free of crime or merely free of expression? The above scenario removes free-will from the equasion. People are forcibly prevented from thinking/doing what is deemed illegal. Without the ability to make mistakes, you elimate the ability to learn from your mistakes. If you can't even consider doing something, you can't weigh the consequences.\n\nAdd to that a lot of our laws and moral absolutes have exceptions. Would you steal bread to feed your starving family? Your example does not address the grey area of law. By criminalizing thought, you make everybody a criminal even if they haven't actually harmed another.\n\nHope that adds something,\nOdd

You are a very kind and open minded person to come to that conclusion I'm sorry but any time any life is lost and someone sees joy in it i see little red flags and i am upset. I don't have a problem with terrorist because of political reasons i have a prob. with them because they kill innocent people for their and their governments gain and satisfaction i believe that is sick and i pray for these people.

Because to them, more important than practicing love is practicing being right and better than everyone else.\n\nThe entire "War on Terrorism" was motivated by oil anyways, as many events of Sept. 11 are unexplainable, unbeleivable or simply impossible, such as cell phone calls from an airplane.

I say let the torture begin.It may sound cruel to some but sometimes extreme measures have to be taken to save lives. Terrorists have no regard for human life and should be treated with that in mind.\n\n\n There are ways to make someone talk, not all involve physical pain.\nForcing a terrorist to view Ted Kennedy in a speedo should do the trick.

Of course.\n I think it is a terrible idea to trade off civil rights for an ILLUSION of security... no one in this country is even a tiny bit safer than we were before the so called Patriot Act, just more fearful.\n\nBesides that, if we surrender our freedom in an effort to thwart terrorists, they win without even trying.
