Then that defines our differences. I don't see terrorism as a war just as I don't see that there's a "war on drugs". That's just a convenient excuse to suppress liberties and expand government power. Terrorism is a crime problem. Did we declare war on Tim McVeigh? And if terrorism IS a war why hasn't congress declared War? And if they wanted to, who would they declare it on? i.e., it's crime, not war. International crime, but not war. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:205879 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
