Fighting terror is using terror
In all wars, the aim is to terrorize
the opponent to the point of submission. Bombs aren't necessary -- psychological
warfare can be used to convince the enemy to come to the good side. Like
all wars, the current war on terror is essentially using terror on terror.
The idea is to terrorize the terrorists using the military and, failing
that, with propaganda.
Cheney reveals hyprocrisy
Recently, during a Senate photo shoot,
Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Vice President Dick Cheney got into a
heated argument. Cheney scolded Leahy for criticizing his allowing his
former company Halliburton, from which he still receives deferred compensation,
to profit off the war in Iraq. Leahy responded by asking why Cheney had
called him a "bad Catholic" for being pro-choice. The argument ended with
our second-in-command telling the senator to either "f--- off" or "go
f--- himself." When questioned about this, Cheney said he had no regrets
about swearing and that he "felt better" after doing it.
