Republican view:
Terrorism poses one of the greatest threats to the U.S.
The world toward which the militant Islamists strive cannot peacefully co-exist with the Western world. In the last decade, militant Islamists have repeatedly attacked Americans and American interests here and abroad. Terrorists must be stopped and destroyed.
The use of intelligence-gathering and military force are the best ways to defeat terrorism around the world.
Captured terrorists should be treated as enemy combatants and tried in military courts.
Democratic view:
Global warming, not terrorism, poses the greatest threat to the U.S., according to Democrats in Congress.
Terrorism is a result of arrogant U.S. foreign policy.
Good diplomacy is the best way to deal with terrorism. Relying on military force to defeat terrorism creates hatred that leads to more terrorism.
Captured terrorists should be handled by law enforcement and tried in civilian courts.
