Hate only breads more hate. Kill a terrorist and 5 more pop up in his place. There is no solution to the terrorist problem that involves war that does not include genocide.
We need to combat the problem by changing the perception people have of us. We need to stop our unwavering support of Isreal. We need to do what they want and just leave them alone. Reducing our dependency on forgien oil would be a great start to curving terrorism, we would then be able to leave the middle east and say have it your way. Let them sit there and fight amoungst themselfs until they grow up.
To me it seems that Bush is one of the greatest threats to America in a long time. He is willing to take away our freedoms (since when do we need free speach zones?) He uses the word unpatriotic to bully people into doing what they know is wrong.
For someone who is a self proclaimed christian he sure doesn't follow the bible very well. The bible teaches us to love our enemy as ourselfs. It teaches us to turn the other cheek. Violence only leads to more violence.
My biggest gripe about Bush is he has to much of the American additude that "Everything should be done my way". He doesn't think about the consiquences of his actions. Let's face it we are in a world now where we can't just have everything our way. We need to work together if we want to make things better. This means we need to ask ourselfs what would the rest of the world think when we do things.
Would things be different if Gore was president? Of course they would. Would they be better? I have no idea. I'd hope that the forgien oppion of us would at least be better.
Bush's opinion of you are with us or against us is horrible. Since when does Bush decide what is the best for everyone else in the world? How would you like it if your neighboor down the street one day said "Everyone in this city must be in bed by 10 at night and to work by 8 in the morning" What gives him the right to say that? If he was the mayor does he have the right to say that? What if he is the governer? Or President? What is best for him is not always what is best for everyone.
