The principle I have is this war is totally ineffective, even if you
believe killing thousands of random Taliban (and as many innocent
civilians) will stop global terrorism. We still can't kill them all.
Islamic terrorists can come from anywhere. There are a billion of them
in the pool and it only took 19 on 9/11.
The war is stupid, It is just our 21st century Vietnam.


There are no "billion" terrorists. Give me a break.

It's somewhat telling that that is all you found to disagree with in
the post.

Why? It was by far the biggest distortion in the post.

Nobody said there were a billion terrorists. It may actually be less
than 1000 worldwide but some people think we should declare war on all
billion Muslims.

No, just the ones who want to kill us. Unfortunately, in war, innocent
people die. The only difference is they go after innocents (all over the
world) and consider that warfare. We go out of our way to protect them,
to the point of loosing lives ourselves... I don't think anybody really
wants to go to war with "all billion Muslims". That is just another
hollow talking point, but sometimes you have to shoot 'em where they
hide...

yeah. people like you believe that. those of us who realize terrorism
is part of an islamist ideology, but not representative of all of
islam (any more than protestantism is all of xtianity) know that not
all muslims are terrorists or support terrorism

you're unable to differentiate.

You said, "There are a billion of them in the pool." Who is "them"? If
you're talking about people, there are many more billions. If you're talking
about Muslims, then you just claimed they are "in the pool," which sounds
like you're lumping them in a monolithic group, which is inaccurate.
