Two major changes have brought about this problem.
We stopped fighting wars to WIN.
We started being too concerned with whose feelings we hurt.
Every "conflict" ( I hate that stupid word) after 9/11 could have ended swiftly and with finality if we would unleash 12 kinds of hell's rain on the country of conflict. Fly over, level anything and everything, and get out. If the REALLY are the enemy, then treat them as such.
On 9/12, we should have taken action to profile, deport, monitor, vet, every muslim in the country until we were certain the disease had been excised. I'm not sure when or why we somehow became sympathetic to a people hell bent on killing us.
Yes, both efforts would be unfair to the truly innocent, but as I have said before, I can't tell which fire ants are going to bite me and which ones will not, therefore, the entire mound must go.
