I don't think it can be better said that the way Politicophile just put it.
Well done, measured, and not overstated.
But, I want to chime in a little.
We will fight this war for a long time, if we don't want to live like Isreal. By that, I mean Isrealies have been forced to accept attacks, regardless of reponse, they know it will go on indefinetly. The Isreali people are subject to attacts so often we rarely notice them any more. They have used assasination, and every brutal response they could think of, and nothing has worked.
By contrast, we never let it get that far, and maybe thats the reason we have remained relativly safe since 9/11.
If you agree, or disagree that the fight should have moved to Iraq, reasonable poeple can disagree.
However, the fact remains that we have stopped attacts on our nation, and made significant inroads in understand how they operate and how to limit there funing. If we stay resolved (maybe for the duration of our generation), and stay focussed. I think we will send these animals back to places where they can only hurt there own poeple.
Then those poeple will be capable of fighting back.
Things have gotten out of control, by not addressing the obvious. If we take our eye of the ball, all the effort and lives will only serve as a temporary fix, at best.
Never forget. Continue to go where they hide and let the next generation learn about terrorism in history books.
This is our time to sacrifice, so our children will not have to.
