Comments on: Question: Did The U.S. Accomplish The Enemy’s Goal? http://brokentelegraph.com/2008/07/07/did-we-accomplish-their-plan/ Wed, 16 May 2012 15:28:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: The Broken Telegraph http://brokentelegraph.com/2008/07/07/did-we-accomplish-their-plan/#comment-160 The Broken Telegraph Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:23:34 +0000 http://brokentelegraph.wordpress.com/?p=115#comment-160 I happen to agree that we are not winning this so-called war on terror. We have done to other countries what we would never allow to be done to us, and have violated the Just War Theory with all this newfound pre-emptive garbage (all built on manipulated intel in the case of Iraq). I think our enemies will lose much of their power to recruit if we ever return to the practice of respecting national sovereignty (even in the middle east), and stop acting like the global police. Right now, we're just fueling the fire and have compromised our nation's creeds in the process. -ian I happen to agree that we are not winning this so-called war on terror.

I believe due to this war we have only made more enemies.. thus more potential terrorists. And why should we work on ending abroad terrorism when we can't even fix our at home terrorism.. ie school shootings, mall shootings, bombings (oklahoma city) If our own citizens our terrorizing our own citizens how does that look to an outsider.. more like justification to me I don’t believe we are winning the war against terrorism.
