This is why conservative thinking is bad for the country. You think that the proper response to a terrorist attack would basically be to kill millions! Because that's what would happen. Anyone reading your post can tell that you don't think of Arabs or Muslims as human beings, you think of them as rotting filth. It's because of psychopaths like yourself that McCain was gleefully singing songs about bombing countries while running for president. If you haven't gathered what I'm saying, you're a homicidal sociopath! Your way of thinking isn't just un-American, it's fucking WRONG! It's really hard to identify a way of thinking as wrong, but you are just wrong.
Ahhh, no.
I don't give a shit what color a person's skin is or what they believe. It doesn't matter. What DOES matter is when a group of people kill innocents...and then other people harbor those people. There MUST be a retaliation, if only to say "this isn't OK".
The reality, though, is that our efforts were more misguided and worsely implemented than the "War on Drugs". They accomplished nothing, they will accomplish nothing, and they completely failed to make the point that terrorism is NOT OK.
Instead of avenging those killed and taking to task those who did the killing or sympathised with the killers, we had protests about what colors the firemen depicted in the WTC memorial should be. We should have immediately rebuilt the towers bigger and better than before to show the world that they can't defeat us and that we won't acquiesce to their backwards society.
Instead, we rolled over worse than the French ever have before.
Vengeance for vengeance's sake is not good. However, examples must be made of people who threaten freedom and our great country. That was not done.
