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.


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.


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.
