O.K., Serp. Next time I'll ask you for a debate when I want one.

Wonderful!

I agree with half of what you're saying.

Only half? No, I'm kidding.

So which parts, besides my speculation (joke) on why we were attacked, did you not agree with?

George W. scares the hell out of me.

He, personally, doesn't scare me, but the power he has been given scares me.

I'm not sure I can believe the war was started as you say.

That was more or less a joke. It's dangerous, but I'm not preaching that idea. Just a little conspiracy for everyone.

But when the oppurtunity presented itself, he did sieze it; creating an absurd and nebulous mission in the process.

It doesn't seem like any of our 'leaders' have been putting too much thought into wars, nowadays.

So, what is a terrorist? A group of guerilla fighters, representing a minority opinion, trying to militarily overthrow the established (usually claimed to be legitimate by virtue of the fact it is established) rule? By this definition, the American Revolution was a terrorist act!

Yeah, although it seems like the American Revolution was for a 'just' cause. You know, freedom for all, but slavery for the blacks. "Power to the people," except for the native tribes, who will either be executed, taken out by small pox, or forced into a civilized government where they are able to start their own casinos.

I'm not denying the existence of true terrorists. I'm just worried about our lack of criteria.

Lack of thought put into the actions they are already taking. :)

Similarly, we are in the midst of all the rape of the constitution. We are promised that these abonimations will only be aplied to terrorists. And so we are therefore presuming the suspects guilty before the trial.

I want a solution. I'm the one who is usually bitching and complaining about these things, but I have my own ideas, that are just considered "unrealistic." So I'd like a solution from someone else, who also appears to be a bit worried about the things that are going on.
