Ending it once and for all is long overdue.
Short of nuclear powered genocide, ending the war with the jihadist ideologues will take generations. The current campaign just happens to be in Iraq, and that's a good place to keep it. We should seek to keep the fever down to a low key (the Democrats are *not* helping in that), but it is a fever that will have to burn itself out. There's no real alternative, short the nuclear holocaust I mentioned.
What makes you think ending the war will mean the terrorists will quit killing us?
Do we have so much power that if we quit fighting terrorists, they will love us and no longer seek to kill us?
Let me see - how many terrorists in how many countries?
And suddenly they will leave America alone. Yeah right.
Idiotic to think we have an option to quit fighting the war. We will be fighting it today or it will be in our backyard as they want this country.
