"Radical Islam" and Terrorism

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Hmm, how about "Radical Neoconservatism" and Terrorism?

Or "Radical Zionism" and Terrorism?

Those are much more important and pertinent discussions to be had. When is Congress going to take those issues up?

The "radical Islam" phrase, fwiw, has been a very strong distinction between Obama and Bush's administrations.  Bush was very direct about it, and Obama's administration has been far more hesitant to rhetorically place so much emphasis on Islam.

I feel like this is a important exchange between the two viewpoints.  Many Republicans want the focus to be on "radical Islam" while Democrats (including myself) would rather the phrase rhetorically focus on "radical Islamic beliefs that are inconsistent with mainstream interpretation of the Koran."

And, the fact that we're even having this debate shows how stupid we all are.

But of course, the change from Bush to Obama was all about a change in rhetoric.

Yea the terrorists are going to find ways into our country or could coordinate through the internet. Look we can't secure our borders entirely unless you are suggesting we put up a shield and get the Jedi Knights to protect us.

The best we can do is stop giving them a reason to fly planes into our buildings.  Every bomb we drop, every country we invade, just brings more people into Al-Qaeda's ranks.  Osama bin Laden's whole plan was to get us to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, for that very reason.

Yeah, we should cave on any and everything they ask for.  These irrational halfwits couldn't possibly find something else to be suicidal about.

Yay for war and big government! Let's nuke Iran next, or else the terrists will get us.

You're extreme too. ^^ Go for diplomacy first and war is the last option, but must be an option. Also when dealing with those who think they will only go to heaven if they kill the infidels, war is often the only option. It's a sad part of life. I don't like war, but it is necessary under unfortunate and extreme circumstances.

Unfortunately, none of the wars the U.S. has fought were justified.

WWII was necessary and brought the world together. It's unfortunate that wars happen, but they are sometimes inevitable as we are all only humans and some humans do terrible things.

Lol, the war divided the world like never before in history.

You'd rather have Hitler unite the world under tyranny?

The Soviets and Nazis would have destroyed each other on their own.
