I honestly don't understand why you say this. We are fighting with military force elements within the Islamic world that advocate terror. That is what I'm referring to when asked about the military component of the GWOT. [quote] [b]DL-44 said:[/b] So...you admit in the same post that we're not fighting a war on 'terror'? [/quote] Umm... no. I'm saying that the GWOT is working towards freedoms for oppressed peoples and people who oppose the GWOT don't get it. They are the ones that need to understand why we're fighting. [quote] [b]DL-44 said:[/b] Of course, when I say 'to what end', I mean... So what are we actually accomplishing? Not, 'what is the rhetoric passed around about our supposed purpose'. Oh, we're there for "Freedom?"... [/quote] Yes, of course you're right. I need to explain what and how we are to accomplish the freedom thing. We are finally addressing the fact that there is an ever growing element within the Islamic world that is threatening our view of freedom and human rights. It is threatening us because it's stated long term goal is to dominate the world according to its precepts. This is not unlike other enemies we've faced in the past. There was a reason for the Cold War. We were not willing to let another power on this planet impose a totalitarian utopia on the rest of us so we expended tremendous amounts of blood and treasure to defeat it. Thankfully we stuck with it or we would be in a very worse place right now. By militarily destroying Al Qaeda and those who enable it this is one way we are fighting against terror. But of course this is only one part of the GWOT. By taking down Saddam Hussein's regime we are trying to build up in its place a stable if not democratic beach head in the ME. If we can succeed in that, and I believe we can, this will be an early step towards a more stable and free region. This is really just a form of the domino effect we feared so much with the Soviet Union. Ramasax pointed out that the people of the ME are human beings and I believe that all human beings respond ultimately to the idea of living in a free society. I view the GWOT in a much larger context than I think anyone else here is considering. I see this as a struggle that will persist long after we're dead. I see forward to a day when children in the ME will read about how they won their freedoms in history books. . . . : [url=http://www.bugimus.com][img]http://www.bugimus.com/sigs/small-sig1.gif[/img][/url] : . .
