Salmo,

For starters

It's a speach they typically contain buzz words and do not cite sources nor detailed historical records. They would be too long and boring for most. One has to assume that one is either well read or will become such with thought provoking ideas.

What nation(s) do we declare war on?

Anyone that harbors terrorist and does not cooperate or make progress in riding their territory of such.


And why? If terrorist from within their borders commit acts against us or our allies.

we still have no hard evidence - Who says cite your sources. I have seen quite a bit re: Afghanistan, SA, Yemen, Iran, Syria,Indonesia, Sudan etc.

And how do we win this war? Simply kill more terrorist than we create or until they see that no nation or state will harbor their activites.


"One more thing. I've read a couple of times now that U.S. inflicted, non-combatant deaths in Iraq range between 9,000 and 10,000. That's at least 3 times the number of Americans killed on 9/11. In your opinion, how many innocent people in other countries should die while we avenge terrorism against the U.S.? I've indicated several times that I'm all for hunting down terrorists and killing them. That seems faultless and almost high-minded to me. But killing thousands of innocent non-combatants and passing it off as necessary collateral damage lowers us to nearly the same ethical level as the terrorists. Don't you think? And if not, why not?"

You mean like those in Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Define innocent? How do you know they are innocent? cite your sources of their innocence? Do the organizations you will cite have proof that they never aided and abetted terrorist or terror organizations or is it a big assumption. We have made no secrets about where we will be conducting operations and as hard as it may be to leave they have that opportunity.
