Is the whole war on terror a hoax

Question

One "attack" on the WTC in 2001. Since then not one. The only other one was the OK City bombing by a couple of white Americans. Is the whole thing a sham? A made up "war". If Al Qaeda wanted to do some damage, why didn't they bomb a Penn Sate football game where 101,000 people were in the stands? Or the Rose Bowl? Or a USC game?

Answer 1

The answer is yes,, if bushes and his rich sidekick were serious they would simply turn Israel lose................

Answer 2

No, it's scam to justify endless military and "security" spending, endless expansion of government and government powers, and blatant colonial wars abroad. It's like the War on Drugs on steroids, and like the War on Drugs, the War on Terror is not only ineffectual, it's actually counterproductive. Both make the rich and powerful in America richer and more powerful, which is of course why we have them.

Terrorism is a tactic, not an ideology.

Answer 3

Partially. Afghanistan was not a hoax. Iraq was a hoax. The War of Terror was used as an excuse to pass the Patriot Act and invade Iraq. Since Bush refuses to explicitly name Islam as the source of this terror, he cannot be trusted and must have other motives.

Al Qaeda attacked the WTC because that is in the financial heart of the USA. Their goal was to crippled the US economy, not kill people.

Similar reasons they attacked the Pentagon and the White house. They wanted to cripple the leadership (civilian and military) of the USA and cause chaos.

Answer 4

Yes and no. 9/11 did happen and Islam is a serious threat to the civilized world. Every act of terrorism on the planet since 1995 was caused by Islamic terroists. And Islamic leaders and imams do nothing to condemn or denounce this violence.

But America uses this war on terror to send 100s of billions of dollars to Iraq while completely neglecting it's own people. The economy is in shambles. Schools, roads, bridges, health care etc needs reform yet no money is available. America craps on its own people yet rebuilds Iraq. There are many other dangerous countries such as North Korea and Pakistan that are enemies to the States but are completely ignored (maybe because there is no oil there). Some people feel that America needs a war every decade or so, so that it's military can have "live" training and exercises. And Saudi Arabia is the biggest enemy of the States. Supports terrorism while pretending to be a friend and ally.

Answer 5

Yes, it is a big friggen 'Joke', The World Trade Center and the Murray Building In OKC is actually being 'cloaked' by the Klingon's.

And My niece is just hiding, she wasn't blown up in OKC...

Why not return to your gaming section and leave the adults alone...  

Answer 6

You can't fight terrorism with war, because the two walk hand in hand. They both target innocent people who don't want anything to do with this problem, but the problem is that some people can't see that. There have been many international terrorist attacks since the war on Iraq across the world. It isn't just the USA that has been affected by terrorism, look at Spain, Egypt, the UK and many other countries worldwide. And no Islam isn't the problem, it's ignorance pure and simple!

Extremism in any religion is scary, but anybody who kills in the name of any religion doesn't worship any god, sorry but they worship evil and that is that.

Answer 7

The war may have other purposes, but terrorism is not a hoax. There have been numerous other plots that have been planned on the U.S. but prevented by our government since 9/11. And if anyone wants to bomb USC, Notre Dame, Texas, Michigan, or any school in Florida, I'm down.

Answer 8

Not a hoax at all. Look at what is occurring elsewhere, daily!

In lil old Canada, intelligence services have thwarted at least a dozen attacks since 9/11. National security in the US has similarly stopped several would be attacks from happening. Don't let your guard down and don't fall for what the conspiaracy theorists espouse.
