Dham - the onyl people i see being attacked are Islamic fundamentalists, if you ahve anything to conter that i'd be facinated to hear it. My point never was that it is a war on Islam, i merely meant to suggest it was closer to that than a war on terror but since you've decided to get anal about it...
Syc - I do foreign relations, as a result my assesment of the chances of a broarder war on terror is around 0.03% +- 0.0.3% . :p
Its not a war in Islam, give me some credit, but any muslim will be under some degree of suspicion if only by the general public and you are already seeing vastly hightened survaliance of mosques, charaities etc The weight of the CIA/Military in nations where islamic extremism is thought to be is already being felt. This combined with a stupidly hardline approach to the Isreali conflict does give the impression that Islam is certainly not on the right side of the US. But....

It's not a war on Islam. Nanny nanny boo boo. I'm right and you're wrong. Can we at least provide some evidence to support our claims? Or are you content to discuss this as a child?

Biting political shots from dhamsaic there, how about interpreting what i said correctly, it might help.
I DID NOT SAY IT WAS A WAR ON ISLAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I SAID IT WAS CLOSER TO NOT THAT IT WAS, IT WAS A SUBTLE SUBSTATEMENT THAT YOU COMPLETELY MISINTERPRETED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Sorry.
Why is it more like a war on islam than terror?
1. All those targeted are islamic.
2. Noone else has been targed or implicated in anything other than the 'axis of evil'(DPRK).
3. There has been no military engagement against anyone apart from Islamic fundamentalists.
4. There has not even been suggestion attending to other terrorist groups.
5. The US has and will continue to use and train terrorists for its own political ends
The same statments can be applied for the effect statement as well. I was going to provide sources for all of those, but i honeslty could not be bothered. If you don't like them, provide counterevidence.
thankyou.
