Spoken like a citizen in good standing of the Empire. At least admit it, you are comfortable with this loss of Republic, and see this American Empire as inevitable, and good.

This time between us being attacked, and us forming a policy, is precisely the time to have reasoned discussions about the limits of our war, the purposes of them, the strategies, the goals and the exit strategy. It is not for us to blindly follow our leaders, they are supposed to reflect us, not us them.
