Is this satire? Well, no, that takes certain abilities.

If not satire, then what? Politeness demands that be passed up.

How well has this tactic worked? Did we prevent Vietnam from going communist? Did we bring democracy to Iraq? Did all the countries in the Middle East then take up "democracy"? Do they all love us? Is Afghanistan a democracy? Does the average Afghani love us?

It's not working according to the stated governmental goals. So why keep doing it? Who benefits?

Let's move on to your idea that bombing in the Middle East is somehow keeping you safe. That's a stretch. Who has the aircraft, the aircraft carriers, the money and all the rest of it necessary to bomb you? Come on.
Are we bombing airfields so they can't launch and get you? Do you know how ridiculous you sound? (No.)

Who owns the land after the airplane disappears? The people who live there. And there's no question about it. You suggest bombing 24/7, and I think you are serious. Why not write the Pentagon and suggest that? Oh, yes, and include bombing everywhere, so you can be safe. Want you sleeping well, don't we?

So help me, Dan, that's about the silliest post I've ever read. On a par with the fellow who said that every Palestinian was a terrorist, man, woman and children, and deserved to die. Kinda radical, huh? On the order of Hitler and Stalin. Probably worse than either of those. Cruel beyond belief. Who might have done that?

No sense in my continuing this. We all believe what we want to believe, and some of us want to believe that which isn't attached to reality. No way to bring them to rationality.

I don't know if this is a rant or not. Doesn't matter.
