Did we really need a report to tell us this?
This article says that jihad is spreading. That America is less safe now than we were 5 years ago. Well no shit. I have done just a little bit of traveling outside this country in the last year and I can tell you that Americans are guilty by default. People in other countries want to know why we went to Iraq in the first place. I told them that we were lied to and told it was the right thing to do.
Of course, the baby boomers that went through the "conflict" in Vietnam knew better and called a spade a spade. It was the blindly supportive right that supported it and the spineless left that were trying to appease voters and not seem "soft" who allowed it. Disgraceful.
We are guilty of going to a part of the world and imposing (that word seems too lenient) democracy on a country that needs to figure out it's own way there. Forcing elections when the infrastructure of government isn't established is not only overzealous, its just plain poor planning. Piss poor, really.
What happens when you are losing the playground basketball game? You take your ball and go home. I hate to say it, but that's what we should be doing. Today. Not in 6 months, not in 6 weeks, not in 6 days. Today.
