The problems in Iraq will be solved when the oppressed people of Islam seek a reformation of their own religion, and they can't do that unless there is a champion to help protect them from abuses.  The U.S. is doing that.  Our troops will never come home unless we seriously change the nature of the U.S.  First, we have to become isolationist, and hope the rest of the world doesn't go into a dark age.  Second, we have to train out children to be cowardly and uncaring, so that protecting our own interests and the interests of freedom and democracy go unnoticed around the globe.  Third, we have to silence the people who speak out about the wrongs conducted at an astonishing rate in other countries, and simply listen more to the people who say it is all our fault.\n\nWe can never win this war.  It will never end.  The enemy will just change names, change religions, change ethnicities, change ideologies.  The enemy is ignorance encouraged by "it's not my problem" as an attitude.\n\nAnd we'll always be there to fight it.  You keep speaking up.  Free speech is part of it.  Don't let me silence you, or anyone else silence you.  Free speech may make a liar out of me yet and maybe the rest of the world will join us in letting freedom ring.
