the outcome of the election

[eppie]

From Merriam-Webster; JUNTA - "a council or committee for political or governmental purposes; especially : a group of persons controlling a government especially after a revolutionary seizure of power"

I find it offensive that you describe our political process in those terms. 


-----I didn't say anything baout your "political process". I merely agreed with things previously said.  Anyway, comparing things ode never meen they are the same. If I say a cat is just like dog (in it that it is a predator, has 4 legs, mammal etc.etc.) doesn't mean I cannot see the difference between the two. And as to you "offensive" statement, I find Bush offensive, only I'm here writing things on a forum based around a computer game, and he is in charge of the western world, I find it a bit over the top that you get offended by my mail.




Now, about terrorism.  I think you have no clue the extent that this administration has undertaken to root out terrorism.  Here in the US with the DOHS, in passing the PATRIOT act (which is extreme), in financial institutions in tracing the sources of funding, in cooperative relationships with our allies, and militarily in finding where the camps are and destroying them. 

I'm not sure why you choose to minimize these things, but again to me it seems you are parroting the propaganda of those aligned against the US. 

---I'm not parroting propaganda, I write down about facts (Bin Laden is not captured yet, even foxnews doesn't say so) and my own experience. If I see 5 km before the Hoover dam that we have to go through a police control center, all bigger cars and vans are checked for explosives a bit strange...who are they kidding....if a terrorist wants to blow up that dam, he walks around the post a few times at night, steps in another car after the post, fills it up with explosives...and there you are. So to me this control has as sole purpose to make people believe the government does something usefull against terrorism.  And let's not start talking about airport security.




When Bush said, "You are either with us, or with the terrorists", this was what he was implying. 

--when Bush said that, he was just trying to make a good impression, because it is rediculous statement. I am very much against terrorism and even more whne it is religieously inspired. I'm however also against the war in Iraq, and the way he handles things. If he is implying I'm with the terrorist he can expect a call of my lawyer.  :D


This is a serious issue, and the US has decided to go to war.  It is serious enough to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, even of US citizens which has not been done since the US civil war.  Reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable.  We all need to discuss this malady called terrorism, because at least in the US we are not going to take it anymore.  At least not laying down.  I don't agree with everything that has been enacted here, but I respect that the people in charge are acting rather than wringing their hands.  Unlike the UN.

Kandrathe, we are all against terrorism, and nobody is accusing the US from doing anything wrong about going to afghanistan, and trying to get Bin Laden. Please let's not get into that discussion again, but Iraq is something else. And what Bush did there is to "create" fundamentalists and terrorists, and I'm not grateful for that.
