I'm in no way in favor of isolationism. We need to strike at the heart, not the peripherals. Your points are good ones, but pale in regards to the first thing you mention.

"As far as protecting American civilians tomorrow, you're right, the problem is finding the terrorist cells. But as we find those cells, new ones will be constantly created. It's a never ending problem."

That is the crux of the crisis. The US Government is constitutionally required to protect its citizens. None of the other crap the Government has concerned itself with matters if they don't accomplish that mission. I'm all for our defense, and the best defense is a good offense that is directed at the perpetrators, not the Afghani army for feel good patriotism.knc
