I often find myself in agreement with Rep. Paul, but not this time... his view betrays a very narrow, dated, and incomplete understanding of the problem. The Tamil Tigers, for example, have long since eschewed suicide attacks.

But of course the core of the problem is that the enemy considers the whole world its territory, and that there is nowhere to retreat to that is safe from their depredataions.

Thanks for writing that . It expresses my sentiments exactly.- Tom

I'm with you on this one. Dr. Paul is my favorite Congress Critter on and over all basis, but he's out in left field on this one. Add back in all the sniper attacks, IED's, and non-suicide bombings and the picture he tries to discredit becomes quite clear.

This IS a war of ideology. It has never been about our troops or involvement in the Middle East. It hasn't been about that since before the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Either we kill them, or they will kill us. Period. I'd prefer we do it elsewhere.

Bush pushing the PATRIOT Act renewal while leaving the borders open is equally as assinine as Pauls statement above. Plenty of room under the "clueless moron" heading for both of them.
