[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 898655, member: 60724"] SFCEd, Wow. Not once did I ever say that we should "stay here and do nothing!" All of the fighting we are doing in the Middle East won't make us safer against the kinds of attacks (and others like them that we can't even imagine) that we saw on 9-11. If we want to be safer we have to first understand the reasons there are those in the Middle East that wish us harm (I described those above). Then, we can change our policies. In the process I expect it will mean that we wil detach ourselves from the Middle Eastern governments and their oil. This means we have to become less dependent on Middle Eastern oil. It also means we have to be less involved in Palestinian affairs. Now, many would call what I am describing as "backing down from a fight". But I will submit that if our own actions are causing the fight, and if it is a fight which we cannot win (which I submit it is, because we simply will NEVER do what it takes to win given the common definition of victory - meaning, we will never use the necessary force, nuclear or what have you, to pound them into submission), then we should simply change our actions.
