Our
Middle East enemies’ main strategy is to outlast us. That means we need to outlast them, which means that we need to remain permanently in the various hot spots using our brains and weapons to make life rough on the bad guys. The locations of the hot spots shift over time but we must be there. Otherwise we will be proven weaker than our enemies. Nation building, containing the enemy, fighting the war over there rather than in our own country, assuring access to necessities like petroleum — we can debate individual objectives but meanwhile we need to show courage and speak the enemy’s language. The world is watching.
While we are busily building 'nations' our own has become inundated with mudslimes.
