Even though the religion of Islam and the Islamic world are one in the same cultural entity, making the WOT difficult to prosecute at times, its not an impossible task as some make it out to be. Its in the best interests of America to fight and kill jihadists and islamofascists wherever they are. I think Americans should demand our government do nothing short of prosecuting this war to the fullest extent. The choice is clear. Either we kill them or they kill us. I find that to be an easy choice.
"Either we kill them or they kill us. I find that to be an easy choice."
Well said. It ALL essentially comes down to survival.
Unless something happens to intervene, Iran is going to be next. I don't see that we have any choice. We cannot let those people have nuclear weapons. I had a friend, of democratic persuasion, say why can we have WMD and then say they can't. My answer was simple like yours. It is in our best interests and self protection to keep stop additional nations from obtaining nuclear weapons, especially crazy ones like Iran which will most certainly use it.
There are no real shades of gray here IMO. Either the American way of life is worth preserving or it is not. I say it is, and therefore I have no problem crushing those that would threaten it. It is, however, my hope that what is in America's best interests, is also in the worlds. This may be naive, but it helps me sleep at night.
