Bin Laden is dead.
We make it clear to whoever is in charge that if we detect even a whiff of a terrorist training camp in the country that we will immediately respond with appropriate force (from the sky).
I understand that the military industrial complex has its interest in maintaining the unending wars, and I understand that the creed of the American Interventionist is to continually claim that we can win "this one" (we just need an infinite amount of time, money, and American blood), but I do think that after more than eighteen years without a clear victory, it's time to go.

I’m in agreement, but I’m not optimistic about the intelligence agencies to discern anything except a threat from out own president. None of them foresaw the fall of the Berlin Wall, or the collapse of the Soviet Union. And they told us if we played real nice with the PRC that they’d liberalize their society. 3 strikes and yer out.
