General Discussion

Democrats, like Leahy eg, were trying to roll them back.

Just because 'leaders' take advantage of a tragedy doesn't mean we have to be fooled by what they are doing and we were not. The Right was fooled, which is why we ended up in Iraq.

Democrats were right, this is all just security theater for the purpose of making money. It's been a bonanza for the MIC and its associated agencies.

But how many terrorists has any of this stopped here? And there will be more terrorist attacks, there always have been since the beginning of time. Other countries manage to handle their terror problems without spending trillions of dollars, taking away their rights, starting wars all over the world, and planning to never resolve the problem as this WOT appears to be destined to go on forever. That in itself says all these tactics are not working.

Maybe if we stopped killing and torturing people in other countries and taking control of their resources, we wouldn't have to worry about terror. They're not attacking Iceland are they?
