Criminal Obama's Speech

Last night was the big announcement concerning the additional troops that are "necessary" to "win" the war in Afghanistan. What a joke.

This whole "war on terror" makes no sense to any rational observer. First, you can't go to war with terror. Terror is like drugs, guns, rape, theft, or loaves of bread in the sense that they will always exist, at least in our lifetimes. You can't "win" a war on rape or drugs or guns by attacking innocent people. The only way to properly allocate drugs, guns, theft, rape, etc is to allow the free market to dictate the proper price and hence quantity of each, according to what each person will pay. No, this doesn't mean if you have enough money you can rape and steal as you please, but it will more efficiently punish and deter crimes such as those. It's the same with terror.

Anyone who wants to practice terror (and I'm talking real, harmful stuff here like killing innocents, and not making a wisecrack in the line at the airport) would be subject to the laws and penalties of the court system in a free market. Those penalties would likely be very high, and unlike our current system of torture or permanent lockup, they would be paid directly to the victim(s).

The lack of private property rights also plays a huge role in this "war on terror" along with our occupation in Iraq. "We were attacked" was the common rallying point after 9/11/01. However, I was not attacked. I do not feel threatened by Afghanistan, Iraq, al Qaeda, the Taliban (or Tolly Bon as Barack calls them) or really any other foreigners. I wish to opt out of any "protection" from these made up threats to me.

However, I do feel that the real victims of 9/11 should be free to pursue justice and receive compensation for their losses. They have a legitimate reason for attack and if the 9/11 hijackers and/or plotters/enablers can be found they should be prosecuted. The only problem is, the US (Criminal) Government is probably the biggest culprit in 9/11. The FAA did nothing to stop the attacks, and Federal law prohibited passengers from being able to defend themselves with guns, knives, or other weapons of their own. So you know real justice will never be handed down, at least as long as the criminals in DC have their way.
