We have here a junta (I like the word for the Bush administration) that does things against terrorism only when american voters are there to see it.

From Merriam-Webster; JUNTA - "a council or committee for political or governmental purposes; especially : a group of persons controlling a government especially after a revolutionary seizure of power"

I find it offensive that you describe our political process in those terms. You may not like it, but it is not a junta, or a fascist coup, or a dictatorship. I think you minimize the power of those concepts when you use them cavalierly to describe things. This is the heart of demagoguery, from which ever direction left or right.

Now, about terrorism. I think you have no clue the extent that this administration has undertaken to root out terrorism. Here in the US with the DOHS, in passing the PATRIOT act (which is extreme), in financial institutions in tracing the sources of funding, in cooperative relationships with our allies, and militarily in finding where the camps are and destroying them.

I'm not sure why you choose to minimize these things, but again to me it seems you are parroting the propaganda of those aligned against the US. When Bush said, "You are either with us, or with the terrorists", this was what he was implying. This is a serious issue, and the US has decided to go to war. It is serious enough to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, even of US citizens which has not been done since the US civil war. Reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable. We all need to discuss this malady called terrorism, because at least in the US we are not going to take it anymore. At least not laying down. I don't agree with everything that has been enacted here, but I respect that the people in charge are acting rather than wringing their hands. Unlike the UN.
