#1 This war, like Vietnam, was lost at home. The leadership did not explain the war effectively, and the political leadership did not prosecute the war effectively. The President squandered his little remaining political capital on comprehensive immigration reform. Too much time has been lost. A majority of Americans probably wants to withdraw. The political leadership senses this and the Trunks are now jumping ship. Thatâs the way the system is supposed to work, and sadly, we will all pay the consequences. It is amazing that so many people donât see the threat. It is sad that so many people blame America first, but those are subjects for another day.

I think it is now clear that the neo-con view that âeveryone wants freedomâ was a fantasy. This means that nation building in the ME will never create a polity friendly to American-style freedom. But this does not mean that it is time to leave, because the war will continue. Our war aims must be reformulated based on reality, not multicultural wishful thinking.

It also becomes more and more obvious that Islam is not the Religion of Peace, even if the President still says so. I hope that the next big strike will convince our leaders and the majority that we face an existential threat.

#2 I believe that many Amers whom believe the war is lost or that Amer forces should get of the ME are also those whom don't believe that 9-11 or worse will occur ever again. 9-11/WOT > WAR FOR THE WORLD, whether Amers like it or not, iff only becuz it is to Amer's enemies. AMERS RULE THEIR OWN COUNTRY, DESTINY, + WORLD; OR BE RULED OVER AND CONTROLLED AND DECIDED UPON BY OTHERS.
