We need people to enlist... sounds like a good argument for withdrawal.
BTW, the 'risk' of terror basically is a lie. Even accepting 9/11, statistically speaking it's simply not reasonable to expect to be in any danger from a terrorist attack. We spend billions on a 'war on terror'. No... wait... trillions now. So how much are we spending on things that are actually a threat to us? We could have funneled billions into heart disease, cancer research, stroke research, respiratory, diabetes, and Alzheimer's research, saving millions of lives. Shit no. We lost 3,000 people in an easily preventable attack (from your perspective, which I'll accept for the sake of this argument), and have now lost over twice that amount total adding the 3,837 US coalition forces to die in Iraq to those who died on 9/11.
9/11 = 2,976 deaths
Iraq = 3,837 deaths
Over 650,000 people died because of heart disease last year. Over 550,000 died because of cancer last year.
