Can't say I disagree with you given the situation as outlined.
But when we bring everything home, we should also make it clear that any further use of Crapistan as a base to launch 9-11 type attacks on America will result in a mushroom cloud over Kandahar or any other Crapistan city we deem responsible.
America should do only what can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, airstrikes and small, potent Special Forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters.
