... "War Against Terror '[u]May Never End[/u]'"

Dick Cheney, Oct. 20. 2001



... Somehow I think Dick is right, but I sure hope our military can smash this easily as would be expected from President Bush.

... doesn't this concern anyone but me?


(in as much as that: Any "project" I've ever worked on in my career definately had and ECD (estimated completion date).
 
... I've never had the luxury to declare that "My job will go on forever"

... don't get me wrong, I like Dick.

Sound like a great gov't program to me [:)]

Seriously ... the "war" on terror should never end - meaning that we should ever be vigilant and ready to defend ourselves (gee, interesting concept, that, eh?) - and I mean as individuals on behalf of the 'corporate' whole in some way or another.  This is something the average guy has managed to forget, what with Dial 911 campaigns, and other LEO sponsored safety and security programs.  People have decided that the police are there to protect them, when they aren't.

However, the [b]military[/b] action in the 'War on Terror' should cease at some point, and the 'war' should be declared a 'victory'... perhaps not for a looooong time, but there should be a point at which we can declare victory.  I think it may be a bit to early to say what those conditions are... because we don't know the extent of this cancer, but at some point we should be able to say, 'once we're done with this action, and that skirmish, and freezing those funds, we can call it a victory'

- edited because if I don't, I won't be able to nit pick with other peoples spelling -

As long as there are two opposing ideals, there will be fanatics who'll do evil for their "just" cause.

You mean we can't get rid of this like small pox?

I am glad we got rid of it and got to stop vacinating people...wait a second.
