| Terror Attacks Up 25% Tuesday, May1, 2007. The Asswociated Press by Matthew Lee. George Bush declared a War on Terror more than 4 years ago. Terror attacks worldwide increased 25% in 2006 from 2005. In Iraq and Afghanistan the increase is 28.5%. This is a State Department Report. What a rediculous cluster fuk we are in. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| No terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11... Lets not forget how many attacks/threats were made during Clintons error when he decided to do nothing about terrorism. I think Bush is not doing a good job in determining how the war is fought, but I think he is doing a good job in scaring other countries into not messing with us, especially on US soil. | |

| Is there a reason Osama bin Laden waited until President Clinton was out of office and George W. Bush was in office to attack the U.S.? Is it possible that he wanted retaliation against the first George Bush for the first Iraq war, which took place when Iraq, (a Muslim nation), invaded Kuwait, (another Muslim nation), and the United States, (a basically Christian nation with a capitalist agenda), got in the middle of it, and took it out on his son, (the sins of the father revisited), because by then Osama had enough funding and followers to support the attack? Just a few thoughts that came to mind in trying to understand it all. Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.

| Look Bush has slowly but surely eroded your inalienable rights as citizens since he came to power. He may have made US soil "safer", but at what cost. The Patriot Act ( a travesty to your rights as citizens) Gitmo ( a travesty against the US's credibility as suporter of Human Rights) surveillance without a warrant ( A travesty against your right to privacy) and a variety of other things that i bet we aren't even aware of yet. Bush may have made a police state out of the US ( Secret Service monitoring who you talk to and what you say) and severely dminished the possibilities for terrorists to committ a planned act of violence... but he has not made the US any safer. There have been no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11.. but that's not really a success. Instead thousands of americans ( and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of non-americans) have died in the "War against Terror". US citizens cannot travel about in safety. Iran is proceeding with its nuclear ambitions (as they have no guarantee that the US won't unilaterally invade them) . CIA officials are kidnapping foreign nationals on foreign soil and shipping them off to Gitmo ( sparking INTENSE hatred and reducing your safety). It is a GROSS error to say that Clinton's light hand on AQ was more damaging to the US than the insanity of GWB. Clinton may not have done enough to quash AQ, but 9/11 happened on Bush's watch. And SUBSEQUENTLY things have only gotten worse. You live in a nation with reduced rights as citizens and reduced security as humans EXCLUSIVELY due to the mind boggling stupidity and arrogance of the Bush admin. I am neither democrat nor republican ( i'm danish Clinton got a blowjob ( as did JFK thousands of times) but Bush has completely screwed your country. You have servicemen who are reviled the world over for no other fault than following orders.. you cannot travel to certain destinations because you have an american passport... you cannot any longer claim to be the bastion of human rights... I mean everything Bush has done has made it HARDER and MORE DANGEROUS to be Average Joe American. And every step taken along the road in the War on Terror has had the direct result of INCREASING hatred and hostility, INCREASING AQ support, and INCREASING the justification for terrorist action. NOT ONE STEP has been taken that has improved your security in the long run.. Apart from the chipping away of your civil rights which definately make it harder for terrorists to attack you on your home soil. But then again you stand a greater chance of being arrested (without warrant and without the right to face your accuser) in your own nation that you do of being killed in a terrorist action. I think that is tragic. Love for all, Hatred for none | |||||||||||||||||||||
