Geeze, now I've heard it all. Perhaps you need to rewatch some videotape of the twin towers coming down again. These people want to destroy America, our freedom, and our economy. The twin towers attack is just a small sample of what they can do. I can name two things they can do right off the top of my head that would absolutely destroy our economy, but I won't give them any ideas. And you want to leave them alone?

This is the defining moment of the 21st Century. If we surrender, they will claim the world for Islam, and you will see a nightmare unleashed on this planet. Don't forget, these people are willing to cut your head off if you believe in anything other than Islam.
Wow! You are way over the top. It is emotion like yours that always leads to wider wars. The coalition that fought in Iraq has already suffered 4689 fatalities. More than were killed on 9/11. We have 932 fatalities in Afghanistan. Total lost young men and women 5621. How many are you willing to sacrifice?
We are always told each war is a defining moment for our national security interests. Why is it that the English speaking nations are the only ones with major troop deployments in the Middle East and South Asia? You really believe this is a NATO operation? I know there are some German and Italian, etc. But we have been sending American forces into other nations since the War with Mexico in 1845. Maybe it is time we stopped trying to be the biggest bully on the block. Our DOD budget for the coming fiscal year is beyond six hundred billion dollars. We spend more on Defense than all of Europe combined. Why is that?
We are undertaking a major land war in Asia again. Why is it we are always at war? Why do we sacrifice so many of our boys and girls on the word of Generals and Politicians when they have been proven to be so wrong in the past?
You write as if you believe this is Armageddon between the powers of Good and Evil. That's bullshit. Let the muslims/Asians/whatever fight their own battles. We do not need to be there despite your emotional wail about 9/11.

Whether you want to admit it or not, there will always be thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people who want to destroy us and claim the world for Islam. Now if other countries will do their part, then we can avoid having to intervene in their territory. There should be no place on earth that they can hide. If they refuse to take on radical Islamic extremists, then we have no choice but to do it ourselves.
There is always an enemy out there who wants to destroy us. You think China, Russa, India, Brazil, etc have no stake in preventing the world being conquered by Islam? Do they seem worried? We have had that paranoia throughout our history. I wonder why that is. So you want us to make an example of Afghanistan. Which will it be next? Pakistan, Somalia, maybe Yemen? And what about Iran? Should we attack them also? How about if we get the Westerners to attack everybody? Are you prepared to reinstitute the Selective Service draft?
We were attacked by an asymmetrical force of guerrilla fighters. We are responding with a massive force. Seems the wrong tactic. Nobody wants to admit the Generals and Politicians could be wrong. I am not here to persuade you. Your mind is obviously set as is mine. So, I will just say it as quietly as I can. It is a pointless war to seek revenge eight years late or to think we can civilize and democratize Afghanistan. Like most wars the objectives are naive and we are sold a bunch of propaganda.
