My Opinion:
We will never stamp out terror.....
The war on terror did not start with 9/11, as far as this country goes. We have been at war with terror
since our inception as a free country, and have had to deal with it. The Indian's were terrorist to the
settlers, and when we were fighting for our freedom we were the terrorist to the British. When the south
rouse up against the north they were the terrorist. The KKK was terrorist to any one who was not a white
Christian, and are still around. During the first and second world wars the German's were the Terrorist,
and the communist did their part to stir-up violence. Today we still have the Clan, neo-Nazis, Communist,
Militant Military, cults, and government hate groups as well as plain hate America radicals. All of which
are labeled TERRORIST and must be kept under close scrutiny.
For this we have various government agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, US Marshals, etc. Who have
managed to maintain order, and stop them before they can do much of anything, while we sleep peacefully
in our beds. For the most part we never hear about these occurrences, unless we happen to be involved in
the occurrence personally, until years later when some one makes a movie or TV show about them. No
policing agency can be effective 100% of the time, and tragedies do happen. Especially if treachery is
involved in the agencies that are doing the policing, or in the Government that gives them orders.
Now with the Department Of Home Land Security, all are security eggs have been combined in one
basket, and with the suspension of our civil liberties, and privacy under The USA PATRIOT Act, even a
non violent action can be used to brand an honest citizen as a terrorist. Anyone of us who becomes angry
over some injustice, that can not be rectified to our satisfaction through legal means, may be come a
terrorist.
Just the thought of terror alone can be used to frighten people in to acting, or agreeing with actions that
they normally would not agree too. We have never let fear of what might happen, provoke us in to
attacking our neighbors. Only when attacked first did anger provoke us to war. Leaders of governments
know only to well what fear and anger can do, and if these leaders are not restricted by checks, and
balances, they will use them to gain their ends what ever they may be.
This is exactly what has happening right here in our country with 9/11. This was not an attack by a
neighboring country, but by a Religious, Christian hating order. Who have a grudge against Christian's
dating back to the Crusades, and the Bush family in particular, since Operation Desert Storm. The ones
responsible should be caught and punished for their crimes. But we can not do anything to the ones who
actual carried out the act, as they are dead. Those who gave the orders are not the only criminals who
must be found, there is also those who knew and looked the other way, or ignored what they were told,
that are just as guilty as the ones who did the act. The sad part is that these people are not Muslims,
Iraqi's, Arabs, or Al Qaeda. They are CITIZENS that are greedy, power mad, and misguided religious
individuals, or groups that think their way of life is the only one.
