The bombs, threats, killings are real, why is the war on terror bogus?

Are you in favour of the "War on Terror" then LadyJean?


The "War on Terror" has been waged since the 1970's, the only difference since 11th September 2001, is that the waging of that war has become more co-ordinated. The bombs, threats and killings are, and always have been, very real. Therefore any attempt by society thus attacked to counter such actions can hardly be described as bogus. In answer to Fionn's question, it is not a case of being in favour, or not in favour, civilisation is under attack and has been for decades. The choice and the important question regarding that state of affairs lies in what the response to that attack is.
