And you haven't been reading very closely. I've been critizing the way this war was being fought, and the fact that our president is fighting it based on political considerations instead of based on killing terrorists before they kill us for a long time now. And I'm not the only one that has been making that case.

The president is in a difficult position. If he takes it too easy on the insurgents, that might embolden them. If he comes down too hard, that might breed further resentment of us, and generate new enemies.

Just show some patience with the President, and stop second guessing. It is our patriotic duty to remain stoic & on an even emotional keel, while our troops are in the field.

Yeah.. that's the fear part, isn't it. We're fighting a war and we're afraid of making more people who may or may not already hate us decide to hate us for sure.
