Should we be there? Yes
Should it has been justified the way it was? Doubtful
Should we continue? Yes
I get sick of the media focusing on the negative because it sells headlines.
I want them to also focus on the benefits and positive.
We need a real perspective.
The media in this case are allied with the terrorists.
They are playing right into what the terrorists want.
Focus on the negative, demoralize and push out the Industrialized nations.
The real reason we are there in the first place,
is because they couldn't get their act together,
they were an instigator of instability in the region.
Same reason we went into Kosovo...the void of stability...triggers instability elsewhere...including broader wars.
We are investing into our future with this.
There will be some sacrifice as sanity comes to the region.
And as ruthless as it sounds...it's better to have a smaller sacrifice now,
than invest in dealing with a larger conflict in the future.
As unstable as it seems now...it will become moreso in the future.
Unfortunately...that seems difficult with a short-term perspective.
We have to be firm, fair and consistent.
No wishy-washyness is allowed...we need to followthrough now.
