What's the alternative? I mean, obviously we should not have invaded Iraq, but the hate that exists in parts of the world against the US already exists and we have seen that that hate can be brought to the American homeland.

I agree that the so-called war on terrorism may not be winnable, but obviously that doesn't mean we can surrender either, right?
