"Terror" On The Rise
4/27/2005
One would figure that after $165 BILLION dollars, thousands of lives lost and countless thousands of people who are now permanently disfigured, the 'War on Terror' might have resulted in fewer "Terrorist Acts." But apparently not. It seems all the hee-hawing and aw-shucksin' has been for naught because ...
The number of serious international terrorist incidents more than tripled last year, according to U.S. government figures, a sharp upswing in deadly attacks that the State Department has decided not to make public in its annual report on terrorism due to Congress this week.
I don't know. It's utter fucking madness. And it must end. We have already passed the point of no return; no American alive, nor our descendants, will be immune to the backlash of our inability to oust a President so hell-bent on bloodshed, greed and opportunism. We need a Robin Hood about now.
"Last year was bad. This year is worse. They are deliberately trying to withhold data because it shows that as far as the war on terrorism internationally, we're losing," said Larry C. Johnson, a former senior State Department counterterrorism official, who first revealed the decision not to publish the data.
Are we losing? Or are we provoking more violence? When does the peace start, Mr. President? Before or after you put away your own bombs?
We will feel the shockwaves of the Bush Administration for many years to come, I am afraid, and the people who voted for him will continue to pretend that he is the saviour of this god-fearin' Nation.
Now if we waged a War on Stupidity, then I might just support that.
