Is this "War on Terror" getting out of hand? It has been disclosed that Bush ordered wiretaps against US citizens without first getting warrants. Click here to read the NY Times article.
His comment that those who oppose him are putting the nation at risk is, in my view, are way out of line. How is breaking the law going to safeguard us when it's a violation of the very liberties he is supposed to be protecting? Arlen Specter, a PA Republican Senator, is conducting hearings next year to investigate possible illegal activity. Personally, I'm glad the renewal of the Patriot Act is stalled and people are starting to voice concerns over this whole "War on Terror." The total cost of the war now exceeds $220,000,000,000. That's about $700 for every citizen of the US? Do you feel that much safer after shelling out that much money? Here's a link to a site that keeps a running total of the cost. I think it's time to take a hard look at what we are willing to sacrafice in order to fight terror. |

I agree with you, Bush is way out of hand. I hope people are finally beginning to realize their error in electing him as our leader.
I do not support any war or anything that causes people to die (capital punishment etc.) but even so, here's my views: The war in Iraq isn’t accomplishing what it was intended to when it begun, it’s not little more than a personal vendetta of Bush and his cabinet. At this point we seem to be repairing the damage we ourselves inflicted. I truly pity the soldiers who are wasting their lives for an ideal cause that doesn’t exist in this war. For the victim’s families, it’s a lot easier to say that their family member died heroically for the good of their nation than to say that they were killed in a corrupt war because our leader didn’t care or was too stupid to care. Although they’re comedy shows, The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report make valid points, I recommend those who share these views watch (not to mention they’re mad funny) |
