Good points, but let me ask you this hypothetical question:

If you had persistent pain in your body and live it with for years, and it gets worse, do you stay away from going to a doctor because you fear it is cancer and life threatening and you fear dealing with it?

Or, as soon as it gets to a certain point, do you go to a doctor because you want to know for certain what it is and then deal with it head on?

I'd prefer the latter, so bring it on now, rather than later.

There is no reason to think that any sort of "2nd revolution" is necesarry at all.

I'm not amputating my foot to spite the wart on my toe.

I'd rather not sacrifice an entire generation to an avoidable war that will kill millions, whose outcome is anything but certain.

I just can't see it that way. :/

I would agree if the situation wasn't so tenuous. I believe the War on Terror is the number one priority for the next 10 years. The threat of Islamic terror must be defeated. There is only one candidate running for President, with a legitimate chance of winning, who will continue the fight.

I will not give the Democrats the opportunity to make 2 possibly 3 appointments to the Supreme Court either, which is what your strategy of "deal with in now rather than later" will accomplish.

So, I may have a pain in my body... but I will not cut my nose off to spite my face in hopes that is the cure.
