This is just the first question. Is terrorism really a problem?
But even if you answer "yes," then the next question is how do we secure ourselves against this threat? Dubya thought it would be cute to make a splashy mess in Iraq. Even though he should have noticed that terrorism is a "hate" problem. It is a
PR problem. When someone is accused of a crime and brought to trial, do they draw as much attention to themselves as possible? No. Dubya had the opportunity to define this as a military problem or a propaganda problem. Al Queda has continued to pursue this as a propaganda problem while Dubya has pretended it is a military problem. In the international game of "chess," Dubya has been defeated. America will be the loser.
Those of you who think our Iraq adventure will make America more secure......are incorrect. It will fuel the hatred fire.
Imagine. Imagine if we had focused all that energy on actual national security. Imagine if we had minded our own business and protected ourselves with intelligence and diplomacy.
Instead, we have made ourselves into the Perfect Target. Dubya has spent billions and thousands of American lives to achieve the goal of making America more vulnerable. Thanks a lot.....Idiot.
