How many of you support this war on terror?
How many of you would send your sons to fight it?
How many of you would go yourselves?

Support it but don't believe for a minute that the US can do this alone. The ultimate objective (to complete rid the world of terroristic attacks) seems too utopian for me.

There's no question in my mind that a military campaign is on the way, the success of which will be determined by the outcome. Will it go down in history as being Vietnam-like or succesful as WWII was? Only time will tell.

The other part that concerns me is that in the past all conflicts have been fought on foreign soils. There is real potential that the US could be an ongoing target/battleground in these exercises. That concept is unfathomable by today's Americans. A few more attacks and the Nuke'em sentiment is going to run high. That would be a costly mistake.
