The only thing better than Americans killing terrorists, and that's Sunnis killing terrorists. You can scutinize this effort for the rest of you lives, but it's just better to be fighting this ideological war in the Middle East and not on the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. Despite your 9/11 conspiracy fantasies, fundamentalist Islam declared war on us and moderate Islam has done nothing to stop them. This conflict will be resolved and will be resolved in the desert. Not here.

About the only upside I can see is that it may possibly bring an end to an era of state-sponsored terrorism that is worse than any the world has ever known. This hideous reign of terror, which has operated without constraint since the Reagan administration, must be exposed for what it is, and the roots of it must be destroyed. The human cost of all this is just overwhelming. To me, it is a question not unlike the question the victims of the Nazi prison camps had to face -- what was the purpose for all the suffering and anguish they had to bear? I just fear that too few people will ever ask that question of themselves, and of each other, and that no higher purpose will ever be realized. But the truth is really simple -- we don't need Holocaust Museums, people, we need to end the holocaust itself. This occupation is a stupendous tragedy, and one that was entirely unnecessary.
