I mean, when did we become so obsessed with giving up when things get hard? I don't care if the news media pounds the drum of failure, Americans are still responsible for becoming so darn weak. Why are we saying the wars gone on too long? War is over when someone wins or loses, you don't give up because its taking more time than we hoped. But yet we do, even when the situation on the ground is actually improving. Less civilian deaths in April than March, tribes fighting Al-Qaeda, a Sunni political party whose only current goal is killing Al-Qaeda. But all we see is the car bombs Al-Qaeda is using to influence American politicians hungry for power. Even ABC says that the surge appears to be working so far, so its not the news medias fault. Politicians only respond to the people, so its not their fault.
No, sadly, America is weak, unwilling to fight a long war against evil. We just wanted revenge for 9/11, Bush thought we wanted to fight for a better future. Oops, his mistake. I just hope the next President realizes that American really are too weak to support a real war. Sure, they will go in all gung-ho, but then get mad when everything doesn't happen as planned, and you get polls in the low 30%.
