Does the War on Terror Drive a Wedge Between Them and Us?

Some intellectual and philosophical thought has come to light over the issue of international terrorism and the obvious clash between Western civilization and Middle Eastern culture. The issue comes about in a hot topic debates regarding The War on Terror. Much of the world wishes to appease the international terrorists and be very careful not to disrespect them, draw the wrong cartoon or point out historical issues, which we are about to be doomed to repeat.

Does the War on Terror Drive a Wedge between Them and Us? Well, we did not start the war and if you'll recall the United States of America was attacked on 9/11 by international terrorists. And that is unacceptable and anything that the United States chooses to do about is justified. The war on terror is noble and just and we must win it.

Some in the Middle East believe that the United States of America are the terrorists. Why do they believe this? They believe this because of the mass media that they listen to every day like Al Jazeera stations. They believe this because the radical religious fundamental leaders think it is okay to use international terrorist events and kill innocent civilians as a way to promote their religion.

The war on terror does not drive only edge between them and us, but rather it shows that we are not going to take any more of this. Backing down to or appeasing international terrorist will only lead to more victimization and killing of innocent civilians. Some believe that the rest of the world does not like what America is doing in the war on terror. I say to the rest of the world; tough. We were attacked first and we will not stand for that.

It is time for the Middle East to denounce international terrorism and stop supporting them in spirit, with money or in the mass media on their side of the world. Some say that the war on terror cannot be won. Unfortunately, these people have no clue as to what they're talking about and their intellectual and academic rhetoric is pure baloney.

We can win the war on terror and we will win the war on terror because we must win the war on terror. Modern human civilizations have come too far to let them be destroyed by religious fundamentalist nut cases who think they are justified in killing innocent civilians. There can be no debate, even from George Soros in a persnickety piece in the op-ed section of the New York Times. Please consider this in 2006.
