Yeah, maybe the US will also find out.
I deeply appreciate your concern for our welfare. Thank you.
In fact, we did "find out," on September 11th, 2001. Specifically, Americans learned that "playing with fire" comes not only in the form of action, but inaction. The reaction, of course, was to flip over the Taliban and pursue al Qaeda, a mission that has seen great success but is still underway.
The current action in Iraq is a preemptive approach to mitigating the same risks. To me, it's not about "eliminating terrorism." That's a foolhardy notion. Instead, the focus is, as it should be, to set a tone for rogue states and organizations.
What else have you got, Yiwu Zhang?
