The USA PATRIOT Act, enacted in October 2001, is aimed at fighting terrorism in the United States. It enhances law enforcement's ability to surveil, investigate, and prevent terrorist activities by expanding tools for surveillance, information sharing, and detaining suspected terrorists. The Act has been both praised for improving national security and criticized for its implications on civil liberties and privacy rights.

Is the war in Aganistain the same as the Vietnam war?

When Afghanistan jet fighters are fighting US jet fighters. When Afghanistan tanks are fighting US tanks. When Afghanistan warships are fighting US warships. When Afghanistan soldiers are fighting US soldiers. Then it will be like Vietnam. Right now, it just a law enforcement issue; finding terrorists, arresting them, or terminating them.


Was Vietnam a war or police action?

1. A war is fighting another nation (THEIR AIR FORCE, NAVY, & ARMY). Was the US fighting against a nation in Vietnam? Yes, the country called North Vietnam. 2. Was the US fighting a nation in WWII? Yes , the US was fighting Germany & Japan (yes and Italy, but they surrendered so quickly, historians often leave them out of the debate). 3. Was the US fighting a nation in the war of 1812? Yes, the nation called Great Britain. A Police Action or Law Enforcement Action is fighting against terrorists (Criminals or Insurgents) who have no nation (if they did the US would attack that nation, destroying terrorists would be EASIER THEN!). The United States is NOT fighting against the nations of Iraq nor Afghanistan. Therefore the United States of America is NOT at war with those nations. Those are police actions...the restoring of law, order, and stability to those regions...or at least in Afghanistan, the capturing or killing of terrorists.

Why are you still in war with Iraq?

We're NOT at war with Iraq. The free world (at least that part which is truly free) is fighting Muslim fundamentalist extremist terrorists. Mohammed wanted the entire world Islamic and stated it would be done either by the carrot or the sword. They attacked us. We did NOT bring this upon us. We are fighting IN Iraq because it is easier to get a lot of terrorists there than in say, South America! We'll feed them all pork rinds insha'allah. (insha'allah means in god's will)
