The War on Terror is Over
At least that is the word on the street. Usually they talk about the "Arab Street" but somewhere in this rambling country is still an "American Street," a Main Street and the sense I get is that the American people are ready to move beyond the perpetual state of war preferring a nice warm bowl of mushroom soup to disingenuous mushroom cloud talk. OK, so there is a real threat of a mushroom cloud from that handful of radicals but is victory in Iraq really have anything to do with this possibility? Maybe in one sense - our presence there is helping to create more radical discontent in the Muslim world. Imagine we were quote victorious unquote in Iraq: would the threat of a nuke being smuggled into our country be any less?
Let me ramble back to my point: the war on terror is over. Americans are moving on, one by one, past the war on terror. Can you rev us up about Korea? No. Could the prez talk us into invading Iran? Doubt it. This administration wants to talk about terror, war on terror, war against terror, war on islamo-fascico-extremos, terrorism, stay the course, finish the job, war on, war on, war on terror. Someone should tell these nutjobs that the American people have moved on!
