I am new here, and this appears to be older thread but I felt like I had to say something.

Why are we at war against terrorism. I start with a quote.

"The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died. We must keep that hope alive.
The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms.
If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world -- and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation.
Great responsibilities have been placed upon us by the swift movement of events.
I am confident that the Congress will face these responsibilities squarely."
Truman Doctrine 1947

The words spoken here are true today as they were true in Truman's day. Change totalitarianism to terrorism.

Islam is the worlds only major religion that has not undergone reform (except for maybe become more militant and oppressive) This war is between the old and the new. The Middle East struggles to hold onto old obsolete ideas while the world around them is evolving. The lack of freedom and liberty in the Middle East is the main cause for the rise of terrorism. They hate the fact that we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and that woman are eqal to men. They are taught to hate and kill the infadels or the people who do not agree with their twisted religion. They oppress their people and blame Western Culture for demise. The only hope they give their people is that if they strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up or hijack planes and use them as missiles, and to walk besides allah in paradise with their 72 virgins.
I believe that the only hope for peace is to destroy militant Islam and show Arabs that there is a better way and a better life through freedom, liberty, and capitolism.

Did you know the average unemployment rate of Arab countries in 20-30 percent.
Take the U.S. and Japan.
U.S. avg rate what 5.7% 5.4 right now
Japan avg rate about 5% 4.9 right now

France and Germany are a cross between socialism and capitolism.
France and Germany have avg unemployment rates of about 9% on a good day

I believe if the Arab people had some freedom, liberty, and capitolism they would spend more time working and living life and less time to think about how to kill infadels.

We are in the middle of WW4. it will be long and bloddy and many will die on both side. It may be a generation or 2 before we see the outcome of this battle. But I believe we need to fight this battle now and on the turf.

We cannot count on some of our traditional allies. I've always believed that Western Europe was our closest allies, in spite of some cultural differences. But it is now clear from the oil for food fiasco that our so called allies such as France have been aiding and arming our enemies and undermininding American interests. I no longer believe that some traditional allies (the ones Jon Kerry thinks he can bring on board) should no longer be considered allies.


As for the comments on social issues such as healthcare, welfare, and schools you need to take a hard look at the Constitution. And if you have a hard time understanding its intent you need to take a look at the Federalist papers. %85 of the principles in the Fed papers are in the Constitution and are the best source in learning the intent of the founders when composing the Constitution. When I was in school they barely went over the Constitution and did not even mention the Federalist papers.

I think someone said that if you can't make it in your own then you are screwed. I hate break it to you but the whole purpose are designed so that people can make it on their own without the govenment. If you believe that govenment is supposed to take care of you then you live in the country. If you believe that it is governments responsibility to take care of you tan you probably do not believe in the Constitution or the principles and values on which it was founded.
