It is wiser and more effective to deal with root causes rather than symptoms. Western imperialism causes anti-Western terrorism. While some combat in the name of defense may be justified, a War on Terror can never be won.
A War on Terror fans terrorism and increases recruitment. A War on Terror an excuse--false justification--for terrorism in response, which is what drone strikes are. A War on Terror paradoxically increases domestic terror by keeping citizens mindful of terror rather than more productive thoughts. A War on Terror kills more soldiers than the terror attacks. A War on Terror justifies irrational racism and xenophobi. A War on Terror is used as a cover to take away rights and consolidate the power of elites. A War on Terror enriches the military-industrial complex, the arms trade, and Big Media.
The only winners of a War on Terror are the rich and powerful.
The United States of America is an evil empire, and most of its citizens are either complicit or ignorant.I woke up in Idiocracy. This is a dystopia.
