Politics - Part III

Its not a war. Neither is the war on drugs or the war on poverty. But these bastards were just a handful of bad guys. The guys that knocked down those two towers. Just bad people. Criminals. Organized maybe. So that makes them organized crime. But it wasn't a country. So it isn't a war.

Ok. The Taliban was the ostensible government of Afghanistan. So we had a war with them. We won. The war in Afghanistan was legit.

The war on terrorists is, at the end of the day, a large action against an organized band of criminals. Crazies maybe. Murderers for sure, but its not a war. How many people were involved? Several handsful? That's not a country. Shouldn't be a war.

Get them. Make a huge effort to get them, go into Tora Bora to get them, oh wait, we had to go into Iraq. That was a war on Iraq. Not terrorists. Now there's terrorists there.

Don't call it a war. Its just criminals. Bad people. Dangerous dangerous people. Criminals.
