Mythical war on terror?

SRC, you misread the post to which you were replying. Of course there is
real terror focused against us. It kills real people.

Our current inept president is feeding more and more fuel on the
misplaced anger against our country and likely more American lives will
be lost directly as a result of terrorist activity engendered as a
result of his policies.

What the poster was referring to was the activities of this
administration having little to do with terrorism (other than perhaps
feeding its fire). Our war in Iraq is over oil. The administration made
it clear with its handouts to maintain oil fields and its recent
insistence that Iran allow foreign multinational corporations to control
its oil reserves. As far as electrical, water, and health we destroyed
the lives of Iraquis making any sort of lasting peace problematic.

Our efforts in Afghanistan have resulted in the greatest upsurge in
opium and related poppy product exports in such a short time in our
lifetime. The war on drugs is another bait and switch (as the Iraq oil
fiasco) creating a class of criminals, more fear (a staple of this
administration's policies) and a distraction both in focus and use of
funds against the real crimes and criminals in this country.

Can we now get back to boating/cruising.

Harlan
