Believe it or not, i'm actually mixxed on this.
My cynical side says: it's a war without a true goal and is nebulous enough to encompass anything and can possibly last indefinitely. It has no real, definable, tangible, possible way of totally ending bc there is always someone who wants change and someone willing to cause harm to affect that change.
My "american" side says: Defend your country, attack those who wronged you and make your country safe first. Part of me really wants to bomb any area harboring terrorists, just carpetbomb the place. I have to keep this part in check with reality, but the feelings are still there. I say if you attack us, you deserve retribution. Clear and simple. The main problem i see with this is that you sometimes do not know who to attack. I think this administration has a tough time deciding and often, the decisions "appear" to be based on ulterior motives, i.e. Iraq.
I can actually understand both sides of this, which is one reason why i'm glad i don't have to make the decision. I just wish the president could fathom the other side of the problem
