This is very good. Now what?
It's very easy to state that they did this to themselves and close the book. Before 9/11 we could simply dismiss their social issues. But now? Things have become a little more international. There continued path will produce more 9/11s. And with nukes being the weapon of choice in the future? How many Americans have to die before people like you think more than the sophomorics of this issue?
How many American have to die, before our leadership figures out that handling things with kid gloves and trying to win the good sportsmanship award isn't producing an significant results. You know better than I do, that such a strategy is seen as a sign of weakness, in that part of the world. They don't have cable and don't pick up the NYT in their driveway, every morning. Not to mention, that building schools for them and providing them with infrastructure is seen as condescending.
The enemy we find ourselves engaged with knows only one thing: strength through violence. I say we fight the war on his terms.
