Brent says true, in that terrorism is a method, not an end in itself. I wonder
if people would agree to the terms, as a war against Islamist extremists, or
radical Jihadis or? I think naming the enemies of freedom and peace in the
middle east in nigeria with boko haram, and today in belgium (Hi Bruno) would
be more acceptable, in that its limited targets, for a limited duration. Also,
the mean of 'war' need not be violent, because you can't beat an idea with war
alone.
You’re a far more likable fellow, when you don’t do the gung ho go to war talk.
P.S. What Boko Harem did in the towns of Baga and Doron Baga – during the same
days as what went on in France FYI – is a first order war crime. They massacred
2,500 people (Muslim African people) and destroyed almost 4,000 buildings,
literally razing those towns to the ground. They surely should be hunted down
and arrested for their horrible war crimes, including the enslavement of all
those school girls, but it should be a police action, not a war, and certainly
not a crusade!
Bastards like that don’t deserve the honor of being treated as enemies, they
are criminal murderous thugs, and in a just world would be brought to face
justice.

In case no one has noticed, our dear president Obama has changed the rhetoric
used as cover for our Orwellian systems state of permanent war…. The term “War
on Terror” is bad enough, it implies an endless war requiring an Orwellian
intrusive state. But at least it seemed circumscribed to opponents it could
describe as being involved in terror.
Obama is now calling it the “War on extremism”. That term sends Orwellian
shivers down my spine; it is so broad and arbitrary in nature and can be used
to describe any and all opponents.
Sigh, everybody's so paranoid about government. Obama started using
"extremism" because the chattering classes kept pointing out that terrorism is
just a tactic and you can't make war on a tactic.
