If you naysayers believe what we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan is wrong. That's your opinion. But when the media is telling the rest of the world that they think what we are doing is wrong, it hurts all of us. If this country does not stand United, it will fall divided. The political agendas don't add up to a hill of beans in the grand scheme. I assume that we all would like to live in the fashion we are accustomed to. Why commit to creating enemies within, when there are so many on the outside.

This country will never stand united. It never has. That's freedom.
And pulling out of everywhere is not what this country is all about. It will NEVER happen.
How about some real world solutions, that cover all the bases? Been around for 51 years, and haven't heard one yet. So I have become generally immune to all the theoretical, not thought out, simplistic, feel-good horse-****, which is what this post seems to be about. Sorry, but the concept you have presented is almost as silly as saying will solve the world's problems by sending either all the Democrats or all the Republicans to form a new world on Mars.
Ya, I'm havin a bad day!
But tomorrow will be better, for sure.
