Rock and a hard place
We are in a difficult position. If anyone remembers, the reason why went to Iraq is the information that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons. Hussein threatened to restart its nuclear program.
We are now embroiled in a civil war, which Iran and Syria, al Qaeda and every other crazed militant is getting involved to the detriment of the civilians of Iraq and US and Coalition forces there. This is why we must win in Iraq, because those who are intent on destroying us are obviously using it as a testing ground to see how far the US and the Coalition will go to achieve its aims.
This problem cannot be achieved by arms alone, unless a full all out technological war using even our nuclear capabilities is contemplated. It would be deplorable, to use such an option, but it seems readily apparent that if Iran, or Syria, or al Qaeda had the ability to use nuclear arms, they would do it. They are irresponsible, and have no morals, despite their invocation of God. God will judge them, truly.
The nuclear option was the deterrent in the 'cold war'. Now we have a whole lot of 'hot wars'. It is sad and difficult situation we find ourselves in, but let us not be naive. There are very real threats who will have the ability to use not only the weapons of guerrilla war and terror but nuclear weapons as well.
Every effort must be made on the diplomatic level to isolate extremist and downright crazy regimes. Punishing economic sanctions are a start.
Surveillance of all nuclear research and resources is necessary.
Continued pursuit and military action against extremists is necessary.
At the same time, it is very very important to build economically deprived areas and attempt to build secure areas which thrive economically and bring properity to the greater number of people.
It is totally unhelpful for the Democrats to attack the administration when we must unite in this effort...
But this is just my opinion...
