The U.S. may have killed Osama, but he sure did a number on the U.S. Taking freedoms away from Americans: Accomplished. Bleeding money from the U.S. that it can't afford: Accomplished. Getting the U.S. to dump huge amounts of money into Afganistan: Accomplished. Getting the U.S. bogged down in the reagon: Accomplished. Only an idiot would call these things winning. And as far as Pakistan goes, the whole reason they sheilded Osama and helped out terrorism in this way was to sucker the U.S. into sending them large amounts of money to help fight terrorism. Which worked out well for them. This is a strategy that other countries are no doubt using against the U.S.
Take ISIS for example. They are in a no loose situation. Because even of they get militarily defeated, it will end up being a benefit for those in the region. Almost certainly, it will also come at the cost of there being a greater "acceptance" of the whole Islamic thing in the U.S. (To that end, I would recommend that you find and watch the documentary "Islam: What the West Needs to Know.") The end result? The U.S. ends up being beaten again.
Now the U.S. has to deal with accepting invaders from south of the border. In a magnificent display of impotence, the govenor of Texas sent National Guard troops to the Mexican border. But all that did was give these invaders somebody to turn themselves in to. At least before, there was more of a chance if these invaders getting lost in the desert and dying. So as it is, the U.S. is getting its ass kicked, again. But don't get me wrong. The U.S. isn't completely blameless in all this.
Now as for all the trouble in the middle east, I would have taken a Machiavellian approach to Afganistan. I would have bombed the country flat. Show them that if they want to play the "kill the innocent" game, we could do it much better. Another thing is that I would not have invaded Iraq. Also, I would support Syria's government. If anything has been clearly demonstrated, it has been that to have these countries get rid of their "dictators" is a really really bad idea.
As for those flooding over the southern border, I would imediately send them back over the border. Then I would use a solution that I would apply to all the starving people in the world. Which is that we will give you all the food you need. But you will have to agree to be sterilized. This too may sound cruel. But the fact of the matter is if you feed a bunch of hungry rabbits, all you're going to end up with is even more hungry rabbits.
