Yes, that is absolutely, unquestionably the truth -- in Iraq and Afghanistan. What about in Syria and Iran (and elsewhere), where every form of support for these terrorists will never dry up until we deal with them firsthand?
I understand this sentiment and it is a very good and honest question to have - There is no easy answer. But I believe that freedom and self-worth are our biggest allies in this battle. They are the only true answers.
And as the values of freedom and self-worth spread from Iraq and Afghanistan this will help to deal with the Syria's and Iran's of the World.
