Everything we've done since all this began has strengthened our enemy, rather than weakening it.
That is because our enemy is merely an ideology, an ideology which hinges- at least in part- on the premise that Americans are arrogant, oppressive, and stupid.
Nothing we've done since those towers fell has indicated otherwise.
Everything we've done is exactly what "terrorists"- islamic extremists- want us to do.
Everything we do, have done, or can do, as a military presence in the middle east, strengthens their position and brings them more support.
Clearly, it is time to regroup.
Agreed.
We have radicalized and caused a generation of hate towards the west.
The best we can do now is try to mend those bridges.
