You aren't serious are you? They don't fight with Armies or Navies, they fight by strapping bombs on children and blowing them up in public places. They drive cars in to crowded public places and blow them up, killing civilians. They hijack planes and run into buildings. If this was a traditional war it wouldn't be a problem, but it's not, and the way to combat it is with intelligence and stopping the catalysts to the attacks, not waiting for them to occur and then acting. We reacted to 9/11 and have we had a serious terrorism attack since? And don't think we haven't stopped plenty of them from occurring. Oh well if 3 thousand some odd soldiers who CHOSE to defend their country have lost their lives honorably. Imagine if just ONE major attack hadn't been stopped, we are looking at just as many or more innocent people losing their lives like we saw on 9/11. we shouldn't be the police of the world. and we sure as hell can't financially afford to be. 9/11 sucked, we all know that. This administration (and probably the one before it) had the information and knowledge that such events were possible, but they were inept and didn't act on the information. they are better prepared now (albeit in mean we give up a bunch of personlal liberties) and chances are low that they would be able to attack us on our soil again. this war costs billions of dollars a month, and there is no end in sight. their goal has been war with iran for awhile, and no reason to think that conflict won't being sooner than later. we strongly desire to keep getting our cheap oil, and if that means propping up our own governments and leaders in the region, thats what our govt will do.

As soon as 9/11 happened, we are allowed to go after anyone involved, connected to those involved or people who support those involved. Nobody wants to be at war. The problem is, there is no "backing off." We back off, they move in for the kill.

your ignorant to what islamic terrorism is all about. They wont stop the violence until everyone converts to islam. There is no alternative they want you to convert or die and either way is good for them exactly, the sad thing is, its only a selected group of ppl who do it and it brings down the reputation of the religion. And can you please explain reasons why "Osama" Obama, and why Clinton is crazy?!

Clinton sounds crazy when she talks, very phoney and overloud Obama sounds more calm and passionate.
...but I'm libertarian and conservative so I really don't know who I want yet. I'm basically secluding myself from all of the coverage so the only coverage I get is through my wife.

see my next comment:
What I don't like out of libertarians is when they have to be extreme in every aspect of libertarianism. It's not like I approve of all of their 25 points, just a few of the ideals.
