Guliani is a loudmouth who was in the right place at the right time to capitalize on a tragic event. He is completely useless and his statements are more so.

The war on terror is like the war on drugs. It is has no end and no real beginning either, and like the war on drugs, it is sure to give US corporate interests a great new way to take our tax dollars-and it sure has been quite the cash cow for friends of Bush.

So let me spell this out for you:

Terror is a TACTIC. The US has used it against the North American Indians for decades and it has been used by many nations against many peoples. You cannot stamp out a tactic-you can only identify who is using it and stop them.

Furthermore, WAR is another poor choice. When you attack a small group of criminals with a large army, you do serious collatteral damage to innocent people who are not supporting the terrorists. The result is that you generate more sympathy for the terrorists (and guess what-studies on the US invasion of Iraq indicate that terror has INCREASED as a result-it is now the "remember the Alamo" for Al Queida recruiters.

The best way to fight terror is with intelligence and with surgical strikes on known targets and NOT by carpet bombing the neighborhood where one of their leaders lives.

Who helps Al Queida? Well, George W Bush is a good start on the long long list.
