War On Terror: A futile war on an abstract term. Is in fact a oxymoron as surely war is a form of terror? Is completely self defeating as bombing people, invading their countries and taking their oil is a hardly a method for making people love the west and renounce violence. violence begets violence, an eye for an eye and the whole world is blind. If Iraq is revenge however, it is wayy out of proportion- 200,000 civilians dead for the 3000 dead on 9/11. And none of the terrorists were iraqi.
war on drugs- supply and demand, people want high, they get high. no stopping it. Equally pointless as war on terror.

Get the war on terrormug. The "war on terrorism" is nothing more than America being a servile dog to Zionist interests in the middle east.

Get the war on terrorismmug. a political catch phrase that gives news media boobs like those in CNN and FOX News something to package up and present as entertainment for the armchair warriors to watch on TV and cheer while the economy continues its decline unnoticed.
1. the phrase "war on terror" was used by some Congress members when Libya and the United States forces were fighting in 1986. The Libyan government was accused of orchestrating terrorist attacks all around the Mediterrean Sea, the Middle East and Europe.
2. when Bill Clinton launched missile attacks against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan and the Sudan in 1998, the term "war on terror" was also used.
3. after the horrible 9/11 attacks the term "war on terror" was used once again, this time George W. Bush said it.
4. Come to think of it, with the various definitions of "terror" maybe there's always been a War On Terror thruout most of history. Fancy cutesy-wutsey terms boost ratings and sell papers. After all, we've had a "War On Drugs", the Cold War ended in 1989, and when I was in the San Francisco Bay area the mayor launched her "War On Graffiti". Then lately some fundies griped about a "War On Christmas" that really ain't happening. Makes certain people look good, I guess. Give me a buzz when the war ends in victory. I'm outta here.

Why do you seem so sad today?
Because my boyfriend is gone for a year and all you're doing is complaining you haven't seen yours in 2 days.

Get the war on terrorismmug. The global conflict between radical Islam and Western democratic countries. Takes the form of intelligence gathering, police action, propaganda, terrorist attacks, diplomacy and military action.
After groups like Al Qaeda declared war on America in the 90s, they followed up with several attacks on US interests abroad and 9/11 at home. This lead to a more aggressive stance by the US and its allies.

While some people like to claim that there's no "war on terror"...there actually is and it is very real.
