My Dog Is A Terrorist
My Dog is a Terrorist

Who decides who is a terrorist? I guess the Decider, but who decided who the Decider is? Also, what is terror?
ter•ror n.

1. Intense, overpowering fear.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terror

So then using that, what is a terrorist? Someone who causes terror?

So then, I am a terrorist, because I scare Republicans with my wacky Commie ideas!
So then, my mother-in-law is a terrorist, because she scares me!
So then, my dog is a terrorist, because he scares the neighbor’s cat!

So then, how do you have a war on terror, if EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is a terrorist who causes terror?

Simple. You target one group of people and focus on them as scapegoats.

The Middle-East and the Muslim population.

A growing area of problems and an easy target to turn into a U.S. territory, we decided to attack. We also had the perfect reason. 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11. So, in October, we began operation Middle-East takeover.

But, was this really where the terror was? Of course, any one will agree, there was a dictator in power at the time in Iraq. Yes, he was a terrorist. But I am a terrorist, and my dog, is a terrorist. But then on December 14, 2003, Saddam was captured. One terrorist gone. But my mother-in-law is still a terrorist. My dog is still a terrorist. That stopped a few people. Though one person removed from power of being a terrorist, now we are terrorists. People liked Saddam Hussein. People definitely supported him, just like people support President Bush. Bush is a terrorist. He has brought terror to 79% of the Divided States of America, and much of the world.

Even now, there is terror that is still happening to many people in the world. Us on the West Coast partially TERRORIZED by North Korea’s little game with nukes, people in Africa TERRORIZED by a warlord who is killing and murdering and waging pointless wars, sort of like our President.

But I am still terrorizing Republicans. My dog is still terrorizing the neighbor’s cat. We just need to stop this pointless war, because EVERYONE IS A TERRORIST. To end, thank you for reading my little rant about this pointless war and how it needs to be stopped.

7. Let me guess. Your dog's an Afghan hound, right?

:evilgrin:

Note: The name "tabby" for a tiger-striped cat comes from an area of Baghdad where a striped cloth was once made. I guess that means there are brazillions of little gray and orange terrorists running around. :sarcasm:

edit: "ruuning"? What's that? :eyes:

9. The real question is, what kind of dog did people visualize...
...when they read your post?

OK, so it's less important and a paraphrase of a classic line in Wild At Heart, but it is telling about something, dammit.
