Never Forget.
We, as a country, did not react forecefully enough. Too quickly, the Left reverted to anti-war partisanship, hoping for America to lose in Iraq. We stopped short of Iran, Syria. We have not seen the end of this war. To our enemies, this is a Total War. They have just lacked the means to pursue it to its logical conclusion. Now they see us as not wanting to fight it much longer at any scale.
This is a perilous time.
