Re: "Don't Feed the Beast" (4.00 / 3)

There is no war. It's pure nonsense that should be challenged at every turn. There is no enemy to fight a war against. "Terror" isn't an enemy, neither is terrorism, nor fanaticism. The assorted terrorists are a nuisance, not an existential threat.

There was a war in Iraq. There was a war in Afghanistan. Now there are occupations, insurgencies and civil wars in both places.

What do you mean? We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy They first make mad. — Euripides
