1. No.
There was a poster produced for the civil rights movement after MLK's assasination that said "You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea". I think it's pretty apt.

2. Watch the weed that would be king tonight and how
protected he is, then remember that he keeps saying we are "safer now".

Or, remember that all delegates were advised to bring their own gas masks to the convention!

The terrorists do not have to do anything to instill fear in America, the repukes are taking care of that for them! :mad:

7. The repukes are just paranoid pussies..
You got to remember this is the Chickenhawk party.. The facts are that you are still more likely to die in a car crash.. That includes terrorist deaths worldwide..

3. No.
Terrorism is based on ideas. No matter how many people you kill for committing acts of terrorism, the ideas will never go away.

Sad but true.

4. It bugs me when they compare terrorism with communism.
One is a tactic, the other is an ideology.

5. No, Terrorism has always and will always exist
The only thing that changes is who is applying the names to whom.

8. terror is a "tactic"; not an enemy
unless you want to annihilate every Arab, Muslin, African, Indian, and other dark complected peoples.

Better yet...who are the terrorists? Can they name them other than "those who do not like freedom" or "are jealous of our freedoms?"
