War’s over!

I haven’t checked lately, but if we’re still burning $10 billion a month between Iraq and Afghanistan, while our country’s economy is bleeding, something has got to give. It’s time to revisit our vocabulary and rename “occupation we can’t afford” what’s been billed as “war on terror” by the previous administration. Time to let the Iraqis and Afghans fend for themselves, while keeping a close watch via satellites, other listening devices on Osama bin Laden’s grave, the al Qaeda’s Worldwide headquarters in Kabul and branch offices in Mogadishu or Yemen, using our special forces to slap any would-be-terrorists really hard before they misbehave. In other words, let’s change the paradigm, bring the troops home earlier than we had plan, and start re-building America!
