DPP: There Is No War On Terror

[ponderingturtle]

Whilst I appreciate your sarcasm, there were already plenty of terrorists the world over to fight without looking for new ones. The State Department list of terrorist organizations offered ample roll call for prospective targets.

Yes, but they where too diffuse, and not concentrated enough. After all we have to fight them in Iraq or they will follow us home.(hearing that quote made me imagine a puppy with a suicide vest on it)

Department Of I Wish I'd Said That.

The UK Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald, said:



Discuss.

The man is absolutely right. By waging a so-called "war" against these wannabes, you bestow onto them the prestege and recognition for which they're looking.

Simply dragging a few terrorists in front of the judge will not save our society.

But allowing anti-american right-wingers (ie Bush, Rove, Delay, Cheney) to call the shots will.

What is an "anti-American" who is an American? I am not familiar with this sobriquet.

Why is a war criminal different from a regular criminal? A murderer is a murderer, in uniform or not.

I don't know for sure, but I think a war criminal's aim is to tamper with a government in a very harmful way, and is often part of a larger organizational network. A "murderer" is a lone wolf who kills for jealousy, lust, money, or is, let's say, schizofrenic, like Mark David Chapman.
