If you want to open up the discussion on a theoretical basis, we can go there. I am posting my current thoughts and posing questions that we might wish to consider.

The people who have died in the name of freedom have not died in vain. We are living proof. The Free World is living proof. Democracy is living proof. We already have our freedom, and we will continue to defend it.

But we need to examine why we want to go over there. Are we going to set millions of oppressed people "free"? Is that the mission? I don't think so. The mission is to capture and punish the perpetrators of the crime, but how do we do that without sacrificing more lives, making more widows and orphans? We can't. And if we do catch the perpetrators and kill them, they will be dead, living in glory forever more - and we cannot bring back those who are already gone. And our actions might bring reprisals - more suicide bombings, maybe biological/chemical weapons, and more horror to our shores. This might be a never-ending vicious cycle that we get ourselves into, as we have seen in the Arab/Israeli conflict. Are we prepared for seige so that all the children of our future generations might actually never enjoy the freedom in their own homeland, freedom that was bestowed upon us by those who sacrificed their lives?

This is why we might seriously consider taking care of the nation and the security of the citizens first, by sealing off the border and restoring a sense of safety first.

All IMHO, and food for thought.
