So has crime for that matter. So has poverty. So has starvation. Does that mean that we shouldn't fight crime, poverty or starvation and try to minimize them or abolish them?

Or are you simply implying that because terrorism has been around since the begining of time that we shouldn't try to fight it or abolish it?

As for your analogy between Hamas and people like my President, well that's just a ridiculous analogy that doen't even warrant any kind of intelligent debate or response.

The point is the term "WAR ON TERROR" is a total scam. Of course everyone is against terrorism (defined as the use of violence against innocent people to achieve some end), just like everyone is against crime or poverty. The point is you cannot have a "War" against it. We should have the guts to say this "war" is against Islamo-Fascism, which is the only thing I can think of to justify it.

I think it is a bit extreme to compare Bush to Hammas, but the writer was IMHO trying to show that like Hammas, Bush sometimes does good things, and sometimes not so good things, just as Hammas does.

My real problem with Bush is that he claims he is fighting this "war" to spread democracy, and I remain unconvinced that he really believes in democracy.
