It was nineteen years ago when terrorists attacked us in New York and Washington. The attack was horrific but it merely energized us to eliminate their bases in Afghanistan and kill Osama bin Ladin.
It has been a period where we saw the rise of the Caliphate which has now been beaten back.
We continue our involvement in the Middle East but maybe we can get out soon. Our interest in the area related to oil and Israel.
There is little reason for us be there and these are countries that can finance their own defence.
Getting entangled in this mess is giving the terrorists a victory.
We need to stop wasting resources and sacrificing our military there.
Peace would be wonderful but in the history of civilization very elusive.
