Many of us have become complacent on the issue of terrorism since 911; we have forgotten the sheer terror we felt when we thought we were facing a wide spread attack. Now, some of us look at the issue of terrorism like looking at a Jackson Pollock painting--coming to many a meaning on the issue-abstraction should be relegated to the canvas and to the pages of poetry. These terrorists sole aim is to kill us, which means that we cannot negotiate with them. At least with Hitler, his reward was in this life, but Bin Laden sees his in the afterlife. In looking at water boarding, I ask myself what if my loved ones lives were at stake, would I resort to water boarding to save their lives. President Obama has a different take on the issue, but I would like to ask him and his supporters on this issue: He has continued the policy of using drones to kill suspected terrorists in Afghanistan; these drones have killed their objectives, including innocent women and children in the collateral damage. My question is which is worse-water boarding or the killing of innocent women and children in our fight against terror in Afghanistan? It is rather telling that in Great Britain, a place which provides cradle to grave perks to its citizens. a recent survey showed that 20% of Arabs still would engage in jihad against merry old England Those who have declared war on us on September 11 have the same murderous intent as those 20% of Arabs surveyed in England-the only solution to combat them is a Cathaginian Peace...even if it means engaging in such tactics as water boarding.
