2. Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder,
which is why in the philosophy of the neocons, we will ALWAYS be at "war".

3. This war, I think, will never end.
This is the war in Orwell's '1984' that exists to distract us from expecting freedom.
When you hear some ass hat predict how long this war on terrorism will be do you
wonder as I just what that end is?
Will we have killed everyone who dislikes us?
Will we bomb our way to peace?
There is no conceivable imaginable end to this "War" because
it is the equivalent of shadow boxing. We are a war based economy.
The enemy is us and
the engine is our geographic, emotional and intellectual distance
from the rest of the world.
I don't know what the future holds but this corporate wet dream I live
in is not my idea of living large.

5. We are at war strictly for War Profiteering
That is the only real reason. War is Good business for Republicans..."Follow the money"
