The proclaimed War on Terrorism.
How do you feel about it?
Personally, I support the war on terrorism, such as huntin down Osama, however I feel that I must note that IRAQ had nothing to do with us being bombed. Granted Saddam might've been a sick **** who needed to be taken out, but that was his country to run, and not our business and we should've minded the business of our own country, not theirs. That's how I look at it.
However since we did go screw their country up, I suppose the least we can do is help them rebuild it.
But yeah, this is the war on terrorist, not Iraq...

I think that there was a time when the war on terror was legitamate. It was what we needed and we focused our attention on it. But I believe it has now become a tool of the government. A way to make us submit to their goals. They say... "This will help our war on terror" and because of that, if you disagree, you support terrorism and are un American. I think that the government has taken this war on terrorism too far, and the billions upon billions of dollars they are spending on it can be spent elsewhere with much greater effect.

I agree. They've used it as a tool for power and manipulation. They've abused their power, although the government is good at that these days.
At a time, it was legit, well actually it still is. I mean hunting Osama is legit, but their excuse of terrorism and WMDs to invade Iraq is a load of BS. I think that at least. My parents disagree even (mom/stepdad, not dad/stepmom) and apparently they support Bush. Again, as I have said before, they are simple minded generally =P They argue that Sadam was supporting terrorist and training them. Possibly true, but where's the proof? I don't think Iraq was doing crap terrorist wise that can be proved. Sure, it probably is true, but you can't prove it and therein the arguement of that's why we did it is a bunch of bull. If you can't prove their growing terrorists, then you have no right to attack them for it.
So yeah, in some senses it's still legit, but the government has abused the support they got in it to make attacks on another nation.
