It's not a War on Terrorism. It's a war against Terrorist Groups of Global Reach. The War on Poverty and the War on Drugs are ill-defined and always will be since there are no specific persons involved. Same with the War on Terrorism.
When those persons who are members of Terrorist Groups of Global Reach are apprehended, then the war will be over. If it is merely terrorism that is the enemy, the war cannot be won or even fought. Close the Office of Home Security, beef up the FBI and the INS, and follow the Terrorist Groups of Global Reach back to their lair. Also, find someone who can actually read their book and read it to the members of the Terrorist Groups of Global Reach since they apparently are illiterate.
Get with the program, RW. If we declare war on individuals, and the individuals are killed, then the war is over. Wars mean popularity. Popularity means votes. Wars also mean lots and lots of tax dollars and carte blanche on how to spend them. Do you really think George Bush or anyone else in government will declare a war that actually ends?
