There ARE good choices if we put men on the ground there. They need bunker busting bombs and level the mountains on the Pakistan Afghanistan border after three days of dropping leaflets to get out of hell. Then pack up and leave with this warning: If you hurt any American or one of our Allies again we will take out the rest of your God forsaken country. Better yet, we will take out Mecca, the satanic worship center of the world. Sorry but the purpose of war is to kill people and bring things. When it is done swiftly and effectively, and the enemy know we are serious, they leave us alone. Remember Kadafi? One big bomb. Muslims are cowards.
Your opinion has more weight than most of the others here. You have skin in the fight. Unfortunately, we are not the country that you or I want us to be. In the middle 70’s we bombed the hell out of a little country in Southeast Asia, told them not to do it again and pulled out. We promised that we would come back if they didn’t behave. They didn’t. We didn’t. I don’t want that history to be repeated.
