We are fighting an enemy who has no problem and in fact has it as their
primary tactic to kill civilians. They also have no problem sheilding
themselves with non-combatants, including children. If we don't have the
stomach to attack them whereever they may be we need to call it quits and
pull every soldier, sailor and airman we have around the world back home.
Because we can't win or for that matter defend ourselves.
Golda Meier has been quoted as saying, "We can forgive them for killing our
children, but we can never forgive them for making us kill there's".
We are fighting an enemy with different values than ours. We need to adjust to that.
I'm not sure I get this quote... that's seems to be one of the most
convoluted rationales for revenge I've heard - but I must be missing an
obvious point. Please explain. Seriously
(I did some editing to get the quote and the comment separated)
