Have you ever looked at a situation or issue and said to yourself "how is it possible that the other side cannot see what is clear and present before their eyes?"
We all know that you cannot defeat terrorism...it cannot be completely eliminated militarily.
There is a scene from the Godfather II where Michael Corleone (sp) tells Roth that he witnessed a terrorist attach (in Havana)...that the terrorist was willing to give his life for his cause. Roth asked him what that meant...Michael stated that it means "they can win."
The best one can hope for is marginal control. How can the President state (as he indicated today) that the war in Afghanistan is winnable.
Even 92% of the people there have no idea why we are occupying their country.
This is a mess... Didn't we learn anything from the past?
