My perspective is this: For 5 years I've watched our government force our military to fight with one hand tied behind its back in order to appease pacifist Europe and domestic Nanny State PC police... in other words, to appease 2 groups who haven't lifted a finger to help. And this as we fight the most bloodthirsty savages seen since the Nazi Party.
Mere civil disagreement is expected... but sacrificing the lives of our people to appease ANYONE is another matter entirely and is utterly without concience.
If Iran is responsible for this attack we should punish them for it. But we won't. We are too weak. Too stupid. Too suicidal.
I do not disagree with you at all.
The PC crowd, appeasement / weakness crowd will not prevail. Either we shall subdue them or what comes after our republic will subdue them.
Personally I believe that it will take another attack equal or greater than what we saw in 2001 before we actively persue this matter as a nation again.
Its not what I wish, want or think is right. Its just how I see the current state of affairs.
