vicarzTERRORISTS!
If the idiots in College Park take to the streets and vandalize things because their stupid team won or lost a friggin game, does that make them terrorists?
While I kinda like socialists, I'm really worried that in Spain the socialists are being credited with a landslide win based on the terrorist attacks. Now the new government is already declaring that they're pulling their troops from Iraq. What I find scary is that a terrorist attack is going to be sucessful in changing the ruling party and getting a country to pull out of Iraq. Right or wrong, they could have pulled out any other time and it wouldn't matter, but in response to a terrorist attack sets a horrid precedent.
What's to stop the terrorists when blowing shit up becomes a viable way to get your way?

Date: 2004-03-15 07:21 am (UTC)Hmm...I've kinda been a hippie forever, and in my utopia there isn't non-voluntary poverty. Perhaps I can argue for opportunity for middle-class for all people to be an argument to fight terrorism! Poverty = boom. Hell - the 'drug war' is more about the economics of poverty than any issues strictly related to drug use per se.
