Agree, very stupid.
We cannot change beliefs or the way these people live their lives. We can try to understand them and takes steps to befriend them. Otherwise the killing will just go on and on and. Moms, dads kids, babies grandparents are all in the kill zone.
Pick a market anywhere and these people will blow the chit out of it. They'll win everytime.

The United States was formed on the foundation of terrorism. When British families drank their tea and talked about the colonies do you think they approved? Thought we were cowardice terrorists.
Terrorism is a term that is all about the point of reference. Losing side makes you a terrorist...winning side makes you a patriot. From the U.S. side its easy to consider these acts as terrorism. But lets face it....the United States is no saint when it comes to treatment of people. We have occupied many nations and done a lot of unsavory things to people.
The stuff that happened down at Guantanamo was nothing more than torture. The line we as Americans were fed was this was a war on terror and better to abuse peoples rights in order to stop a second 9/11. But I am sorry it was wrong.
Anytime Americans are wronged overseas or attacked we want vengeance. Is it hard to believe that other nations want it on us for things we have done?
If the United States wants to win the war on terrorism... maybe its time to think about the Monroe doctrine

You cant have a war on a theory or possibility. It wont work because it cant.
The idea behind terrorism is to strike when one is not suspecting, thus making you constantly worried. Thats how they win....creating "terror". The efforts overseas and all the "homeland security" simply can not prevent this type of thing. Too much area to cover and too many people to watch.
We should have nuked Iraq/Iran in 1991. We should nuke North Korea now.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, we don't even know if this is domestic or international terrorism yet.

This is a terrorist act as sure as the nose on my face.
The only reason this hasn't happened more frequently during our 10 year assault on the middle east is because they've been busy blowing the chit out of allied forces with cell phones and kitchen bombs. They've been kicking our fools and bankrupting us for 10 years. 
It's time to shake hands and go.

Yep.
Obama needs to get a good night of rest, allow his emotions to calm and make the decision to begin immediate withdrawl from the region. It's over and it's done. Revenge? Great but be prepared to dig more graves.USA has killed tens of thousands of innocents.
FUBAR.

The "war on terror" is the same level of propaganda that Americans went through during the red scare and cold war. The idea that communism was bad is something that was pounded into minds for most of the last 100 years. Is it true? Not at all
The terrorists represent a fundamental sect of the Islam faith. To penalize the whole would be like labeling all Christians fanatics because of David Koresh's behavior.
Americans need to understand that the rest of the world just wants to be left alone. This desire to force feed our beliefs or ideals down others throats needs to stop. We have enough of our own issues to deal with.... and who are we to be telling other nations what to do.

I respect your definition of this war Kap as it's exactly what you describe. But how in the hell can anything be done? This ídeology is rampant throughout the middle east.
The North Vietnamese had an ideology and carried their war effort and tactics in a similar way.(succesfully I might add). It didn't go well. If we continue this course I think the body count will reach overwhelming numbers.
Don't support any of it.

If you think the "war on terror" is or ever was perpetrated for your safety, then just do us all a favor and blow your brains out.
This was just a defense/oil industry cash cow to win Bush a 2nd presidency. This has truly been a dark age. Major media outlet have been corrupted into state propaganda disseminators. This is not my opinion. Rupert Murdoch said so himself.
I love the idiots that are still trying to justify their own ignorance and stupidity on the matter.
"Well Saddam was a bad guy"
"There were links between Saddam and Al Queda.....:"

You don't see China going to war everywhere - instead they invest and make business all over the planet from Australia to the freaking North Pole.
It's projected that China will have the biggest economy in the world by 2016.
Soon you will see Chinese sweat shops in California 
Different ways to secure ressources - I think the Chinese method is the smartest.
Stop finding enemies and start making money.
