ExiledInIllinois Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Western values may be physically beating terrorism, we are winning the battle... But we are losing the war. There is no other area that the radical Islamic faction would like to see more devastated in our culture than our financial system. It is the reason they attack. They are getting exactly what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 And please explain how going to more of a welfare state model will make them love us. They will never love us. Our financial sytem directly clashes with thier relgious laws. Maybe staying out of their entrapments, the clash would be lessened. But, God knows we need to sell Tide to the dirty Afghani!

finknottle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It is the reason they attack. They are getting exactly what they want. But I thought the reason they hate us because of our freedom and our civil liberties, and that the Patriot Act means they ae getting what they want.

Chilly Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Me too. And it will cost us. So now you're mad about not defending ourselves against terrorism after you were mad that people weren't going to stop defending against terrorism?

blzrul Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Osama bin Laden was pretty clear years ago that he knew he couldn't kill us all with terrorist acts but that his intent was to crush us via financial means. And rich though his family is, he didn't mean he was going to buy us and then break us up ... he mean he wanted to bankrupt us. So. We have a war going on two fronts (with Pakistan threatening to attack if we chase evildoers across their border, so maybe three). Then we have the war on drugs and immigration...not to mention the crumbling domestic infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc), the lousy education system, and the current financial crisis. Toss in energy ... what a mess. We're still the richest and strongest country in the world but if we continue to bleed out, bin Laden could well achieve his end at some point without ever needing to attack us again. I don't think it's going to happen but ... at this point in time I could see where the evildoers might be cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finknottle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ya, right... I never said that. If that was the case... They would have bombing churches instead of the WORLD TRADE towers... No, they would be bombing the ACLU. Didn't mean to imply you said it, but it was frequently stated by the left in the first two years after the attack (that pushing us to a dictatorship would mean the terrorists have won).
