Our governments approch to the war on terror is very similar to the Thomas Hobbes's point of view because we are focusing so much on the threat of a terrorist attack. We are spending billions of dollars on the war every day, and because of that we are paying less attention to other problems we could have in our society. If we keep using this way of thinking then our government will become more "Hobbesian", because we will be always in a state of war, and we will not have the money to help support people in need. Opposing the War fits with John Locke's ideas because we will be focusing on protecting our country from all possible threats, and using our money and resources to better our community, instead of always worrying about terrorism.

i never thought about the war on terror to be like Hobbes theory. It like the war is kind of like revenge. Also there is so many issues going on because of the war that if the United States didn't have a government would there be more wars. do you think there would be more wars?
