I think that for the U.S. to abandon the democratic , liberal , and technologically advanced people of Israel and support instead the Palestinian attempt to destroy Israel would be a terrible mistake . But as the war in Afghanistan has moved past its dramatic , early stage , when spotters on horseback were calling in precision-bombing strikes , to the slower , murkier process of reconstituting a government — and as the effort to destroy al Qaeda leaders has moved from " bunker-buster " bombs to inconclusive detective work — space has opened up in the news environment to consider the longer-term issues you raise . When they = stop = having all of the above , they're part of a liberal conspiracy to destroy Christmas . Almost since the end of the inconclusive Gulf War of 1991 a politically and intellectually formidable group of Americans had wanted a war in order to destroy Saddam Hussein . For these actions , both recognized leaders and ordinary citizens have been accused of conspiracy to destroy US property , and are facing convictions of up to twenty years in prison .
