thanks for the article. A good read, as advertised. I fear he might be in error in his first paragraph in that the warrior spirit might be diverted, but not lessened. Time will tell. Thanks again.

Again, what other course is there?
We can stop fighting them offensively and wait to be attacked. Do you think this is just going to go away once we leave Afghanistan? Do you think Obama can make this all better and we will never have a problem? Seriously, I would like to know how you think this should be played out?
