Doug,

You should have learned by now it is impossible to argue with the uniformed and with those that have not personally fought or suffered for freedom. These are the same people who supported our past president who did nothing about terrorism ( or anything else ) except smooth talk a few young ladies from their virtue. These attacks were planned during the Clinton administration under the noses of an intelligence and military community that was piece by piece weakened by diverting funds for worthless bureaucratic ( democratic ) programs. Just take my approach and sit back and listen ( and get a laugh ) to the sheep of the world tell us how to react with restraint and support our leaders when they speak for us through our military. Those that stand with us will make it and those that don't will reep what they sow. I am sure that our habit of forgiving the debt of our friends and extending aid that could be used here instead will changed when we see who our true friends our. People can think what they want, but without America the world would be a more of sh_t hole than it is already and they know it but don't want to admit it. If that sounds arrogant than so be it. We are what we are, the best! I am proud to be an American and if anyone doesn't like it kiss my butt.

P.S. In the past I was against intervention in the Middle East, now I say give Israel all they need and more.
