Re:Terrorism - going just fine, thanks for asking.

How many terrorist incidents have there been in the US since 9/11? The Macy's Parade looked pretty calm to me.

eh? Acts of terrorism are stable if not on the rise. So, we haven't been bombed on American soil in 4 years? That's not something to brag about.

Story 1 -- global terrorism rose in 2002
Story 2 -- global terrorism sucks. US may be as safe as we were since 9/11 but reelection may prompt new acts
Story 3 -- Rise in terrorism in 2003 over 2002. (Note in the first article 2002's numbers were understated though.
Story 4 -- Lebanese, people who actually know something about terrorim, see 100% rise due to foreign policy.
...

It's all google-able. And if we count those 'insurgents' as terrorist, which we're fond of doing when it serves our purposes, terrorism is astronomical.

You obviously don't understand the war on terror or the goals it is attemping to achive. The reference to reagan and the bomb or the previous wars have nothign to do with it. The war on terror is a war on terrorism were a group of people attack another group of people that aren't directly related to a third group of people in attemp to gain political influence to the third group of people. The middle group is in no way militarily conected to the third group except maybe being citizens of the same country or having some other circumstance generaly out of thier control.(kind of like racism)

Acts of war, or acts designed to threaten war against another country or thier armies isn't terrorism rather an act of war. Some people would question itis morality in itself but it is definatly on a different level then terrorism reguardless or being right or wrong.

The object of the war on terror isn't to make everyone agree and get along. It is to force the terrorist to make changes by piecful means.
Yeah, by bombing the crap out of Fallujah. This one made me LOL.

Yes, killing terrorist or other wise bringing them to justice is an acceptable means. OH you might be one of the few left that think all the foreign fighters in fallujah are rebels that don't know thier country was defeated. Well then this still constitutes acts of war. Here is a news flash, most of the remaining insurgents are not iraqi freedom fighters. they are foreign terrorist that went to iraq with the intentions of killing iraqis in order to make the united states look like it is failing.

You even have countries like spain that cave in and give terrorist legitamicy. Even now there is a push to clean up the U.N. because of it's support for different terrorist or the countries that support it.
I did not understand if you claimed Spain gave legitimacy for terrorists because of Euskadi or because of Iraq (from which they pulled out BTW, by popular force)

yes i am talking about this. Pulling troops from iraq right after a terrorist attack were they were claiming that no more attack would happen if they did pull out onlyn lends creditability to the terrorists. This is independent of spains intentions to pull the troops anyways. It isn't likley any terrorist will say "well spain was going to elect a different government and then pull the troops out anyways" when the terrorist say "look what we did our efforts make a difference" when recruiting the next suicide bomber. You and i know the difference because we have the an IQ large enough not to blow ourselves up while trying to kill inocent civilians. The people they are recruting don't.

What is being said is that they cannot use terror as a weapon to express those differences or try to force policy changes.
And this is the real stupid part: if it comes to a group to get their claims unheard so much that they would resource to terrorism (because of scarcity of means to fight a full-fledged war -- including propaganda means) they will -- always -- use terror as the weapon.
And now, my flamebait (not really, but a lot of people tend to think it is): it's exactly what the USofAn population-backed government does. It's a minority (3% of the world's population) that, by slaughtering civilians and by maintaing other governments "on check", enforces its views on the others.

Yes and with the war on terror, it will be known that if they think this terrorism is a legitamate tactic they will never be negociated with again. Thier voice has just become completly null in the scheeme of things. The only thign left for them is death. The idea of terrorism being a legitamate tool so that a minority of people can get thier way is kind of liek the playground bully punching every that wants to play in the nose to get at those that do not want to play his game. It is wrong then and it is wrong now.

You mentioned that the U.S. is a minority in the world when

Re:Your post is amusing. let's see why.

[sumdumass]

I remeber that being more like 15% to 25% were foreign fighters and they were the ones commanding the iraqi's that stayed and fought.

Anyways, they said that the majority of insurgents fleed fallujah before the action took place. How many of them were foreign?

Ah, there's your problem: Your memory is faulty. No wonder you think the war on terror is going well if you have erroneous thoughts in your head.

The Napoleon campaign in Russia. Although is not completely clear who won on Borodino, the final battle before Napoleon conquered Moscow. Since the Russian left the battlefield, they could be considered losers, but the French substained big loses, almost a pyrric victory.

Let's see here. My government (USA) bombs civilians, and holds people without the due process that we are supposed to believe is a right, even if those people just happen to live near terrorists. Hmmm, my country, or at least my country's army, is starting to sound an awful lot like a terrorist.

Wow, this is really off topic...

"Lets face it, from an american standpoint, spain has little to offer most western countries outside a place to vacation and a couple of pretty women."

And this is why Americans backpacking throughout Europe need to claim that they are Canadain.

Honestly, What does the USA offer to the rest of the world? We import more then we export, so from what I can tell we're leeches on the world.

Re:USofA lost both.

It's a big difference between what you're doing, and other things being done in the name of the "war on drugs", like what the US is doing in South America.
