The Liberal Objections to the War on Terror

The main problems that liberals have with how Bush is waging the War on Terrorism are:

1. We don't believe that preemptive war is an effective means of fighting terroristm. In fact, it is obvious that when US throws it weight around the Mideast, it creates more terrorists. Frankly, at this point in time, more terrorists are being created than are being killed or captured and this is going to continue as long as we give very good reasons for muslims to blow [censored] up.

2. The violation of civil liberties. I am not being the least bit sarcastic by saying that if we surrender our civil liberties to fight the War on Terrorism, the terrorists have won. Civil liberties are the bedrock of what makes our country great and any President, who swore to uphold the Constitution, who chooses to ignore them deserves a special place in hell.

Since you asked, here is the Liberal's plan to win the War on Terrorism:

1. Leave Iraq.
2. Continue law enforcement actions
3. Improve border security/first responders
4. Diplomatic and cultural efforts to improve relations with the Muslim world
5. Respect the Constitution

Sure, it is a short plan, but there is nothing else we can do that has more than a remote chance of success. It has been proven time and time again, starting in Algeria v. France and continuing to the current insurgency in Iraq that military muscle will not win this conflict.

Oh, and the idea that liberals want another terrorist attack is baffling. People of all political persuasions were killed on 9-11 and this liberal is certainly worried about another terrorist attack. The reason people like me haven't taken the "if you don't like it, leave" suggestion is that we care about America and want it to be strong and free. That is why we are so vocal in our opposition to the Bush administration, because they are going about the War assbackwards. Please do not slander liberals with nonsense about wanting another terrorist attack.
