First Opinion Post - About the War!

I really think that too many people believe that we're not at war. The plot to crash ten passenger planes that was foiled in the UK last week proves that the terrorists are still looking to hurt us.

Most people say that the Cold War was fought from 1947 to 1991. That war was fought for 65 years before the Soviet Union collapsed. These terrorist are not like the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union believed in self preservation of their people and their country. These terrorist are from many different countries have no allegiance to any country and have no self preservation ideals. The only allegiance they have is to an ideal that the West is bad.

What is it that makes these terrorist want to sacrifice their lives for so little in return? These terrorists who commit the horrors are brainwashed by their leaders. They somehow use a religion to prove what they are doing is holy. It is as if the devil himself has infiltrated a religion, normally for decent people, and corrupted it.

This war on terror is going to take decades. The terrorists are willing to wait patiently until this country is at sleep to attack. We must remain vigilant at all times against this enemy.

Press calls the the terrorists in Iraq "Insurgents", as to soften the damage they do to democratic process that has been started there. We can't cut and run -- it would only make it a victory for the enemy. We must see it to the end and prove to the terrorists that we are winners.
