The War is Over.
President Obama accepts the reality majority of Americans have stated for a long time now. He accepts the fact that war begets war and the lands we occupied are not ours to do so.
The USA has acted to provide Third World countries where international criminals such as Osama bin Laden have taken refuge with the ability to secure their own borders. Whether that will result is not for us to carry out any longer. It can be stated it was never our place to do so, but, with so many Americans dead and causalities innumerable in so many ways, that point is mute.
Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda dreamscape was not the product of Afghanistan, yet the people of that nation was burdened with his criminal intent and content as their own. The Taliban was a creation in the region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, it has no ethnic basis, it is a power base, hence al Qaeda, The Base. The Taliban was not the creation of the USA or NATO, but it is there just the same. The prevalence of the influence of the Taliban is so wide ranging they have literally infiltrated these countries with their own form of subversive governing authority. So long as the USA and NATO are an enemy the Taliban has a reason to exist and carry out oppression of these peoples.
The longer we provide wars as an answer to the attacks of international criminals the more there will be wars. The USA cannot morally conduct such atrocities or afford to do so while depriving an entire generation of Americans their generational promise.
Today is a great day.
The Forever War is No More.
