[QUOTE="Jared:446263"]ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]the first thing any President should have done after 9/11 is say that we are at war with religious fundamentalism and its attempts to affect politics PERIOD. This battle between zealotry and civilized society is centuries old, and every time religious fundamentalism has affected politics, it's been bad for politics and bad for religion. Whether it's fundamentalist Jews who assassinate Yitzak Rabin or support oppressing Palestinians, or whether it's fundamentalist Christians who call for the the Venezuelan President to be assassinated or plan the Oklahoma City Bombing, or whether it's fundamentalists Muslims attacking The World Trade Center and suicide bombing in Iraq, religious fundamentalism's attempt to influence politics MUST be challenged by civilized society. After all, if we, as the long standing democracy in the world, cannot stand up against religious fundamentalists here, how can we expect countries with no democratic history or tradition to stand up against religious fundamentalists who are even more violent? THAT is how to win the war on terror. Creating an us vs. them mentality which creates an environment where people are concerned about "towel heads" is how to lose the war on terror. [/QUOTE] That is the most brilliant thing I have heard anyone say since the war on terror started, and it's a shame that the President didn't say those things after 9/11. A strategy that actually involves us winning... imagine that. The funny thing is that the pro-war side of the debate would actually win if they embraced that position, instead of looking foolish by supporting a policy that coddles some religious fundamentalists while trying to destroy others.
