Is the United States a victim of it's own foreign policy? I love my country but I fear my Government. Terrorism is an ugly subject but I believe that through our Governments Policy regarding Covert Operations and attempted manipulation of Governments in the Middle East our country is now reaping what it has sown. The United States has done this in every corner of the globe. Is it a war ON terrorism or a war Of terrorism?

Not in defense of our government, but is it any different from what some others do?

I long for the day when fear and force are no longer the primary means by which men deal with one another.

Very compelling

I long for the day when fear and force are no longer the primary means by which men deal with one another. And I long for the day to vote for something positive instead of the lesser of 2 evils.

About time, someone within the walls of that country see it how much of the rest of the world has been seeing it for five years or so now...

I agree that we are victims of our own foreign policy: AS YOU SOW < YOU WILL REAP and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love your neighbor as yourself.

The United States has done this in every corner of the globe. Is it a war ON terrorism or a war Of terrorism? I have mixed feelings on this. As a former member of the U.S. Armed Forces, I know we have to be vigilant and not allow terrorists to get the upper hand. On the other hand, we have to be careful on how we treat other countries and respect their sovereignities. I guess there has to be a balance struck between respecting the sovereignities of other countries and fighting terrorism.
