Withdraw from the Middle East. The whole place is a hellhole full of crazy people. If we were no longer interfering in the Middle East, the terrorists here would go somewhere else where they could attack people who were interfering. Maybe a few would stay to "avenge" the past, but law enforcement could track them down. I think we need to be careful who we let in as refugees or immigrants from the Middle East.A few bases wouldn't stop the terrorists from regrouping. So you would have to have cycle after cycle of massive warfare each time the terrorists re-emerged from the population. Your solution would be no less drawn out than what's currently going on, but with greater loss of American lives.We already tried that in Iraq. It didn't work. The terrorists were prepared to wait as long as necessary, certainly longer than "a while".But you have no answer for who governs the damn place after "victory." And you simply rehash the clusterfuck inflicted by W.
Of course I do. We govern. We took over Japan and Germany for a while after we defeated them. We would need to take over Iraq and recoup our military expenses from their oil supply. This crap of fighting wars for other nations at our own expense has always been a stupid policy.
Well, we have bases in Japan and in Germany today. I don't see your problem.
So your alternative is to withdraw from the world and stick your head in the sand and hope they leave us alone? They are already in Europe, in Africa, and even in the United States and your President and the Democrat leading candidate for the 2016 election wants to open our immigration system even wider and love them to death? Really? That's what they are counting on.
