A major problem in this war that I feel many have a problem grasping is that we are not at war with another country, but with an ideology spread out through several countries.

For nearly 30 years little attention was paid it as it was treated like a criminal matter when it is war, like it or not.

We better be in this for the long haul as I can guarantee you the radical Jihadists are.

This nothing that we caused it because of being over there is a bunch of bunk, in my book. Common everyday people over there desire freedom just as much as we do.

Fighting in Afghanistan is useless. Our current war isn’t against a country, it’s against a global collection of fanatics who are bent on our destruction. We should bring our people home and send out thousands of CIA assassins to just quietly get rid of the malcontents and terrorists that are our real enemy. These people are everywhere and need to be hit where they live. Since they live in Detroit, Lackawanna, London, Paris, Kabul, Singapore and everywhere else, this has to be done by an army of secret assassins who can remain anonymous and secret. This will never happen until we can rid ourselves of our goody-two-shoes PC mental illness and do what needs to be done.

Jack, I guess I'm a die-hard "cockeyed optimist" - I just refuse to give up on what is possible. God didn't make us to fight and war among each other and warring cultures cannot triumph forever.

However, I will admit that hubs is much more pessimistic about the future in Afghanistan. And he's over there.

EJ,
I'd settle for just giving our boys a sane set of Rules of Engagement and immunity from litigators with a PC agenda.
