The War on Terror is not going to end any time soon. Not until American citizens use democracy to their advantage. Seems to me like this war is really just a cleaver ruse to slowly strip Americans of their rights and freedoms. But their citizens won't realize what is going on until it is way too late. Guantanamo is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Holding prisoners against their will and without due process just because they say they are terrorists? These are special courts where the judges are already admitting that they do not possess the proper jurisdiction to prosecute. They have no appeal system in place yet either. Not that it matters anyways because even if the courts find these people innocent, they are not going anywhere anyways.

Just this week a Canadian kid who is accused of killing an American soldier when he was just a boy was acquitted on a technicality yet he will remain in prison most likely for the rest of his life because the American government could care less about rights. Sadly, the Canadian government has done little to help this kid out.

So, is the war on terrorism over? Hell no, it never will be. The laws that have been put in place allow the government to do whatever they want. I'd venture a guess that until the government has a file on everyone, the war on terror will wage on.
