I believe what is meant here is that all
of us in the USA were drawn into war
by the events of 9/11 - including W -
we know what war is and we have had
experience in war - this war is still in
progress - and until the terrorists are
captured or killed, this war continues.

I would suggest getting them out of office first...

Alternatively, we could stop meddling in the affairs of other nations.

Terrorists don't hate us because we're free. They hate us because we meddle
in their internal affairs and don't take responsibility for the results.
Before we intervene in another country, we should first ask if it is any of
our business and second ask if we're sowing seeds of discontent that may
bloom in violence.

We could significantly lower our target profile without putting national
interests at risk. There's Zen for you, meet force with nothing.

It's that or, that what they're really ****ed about is us finding out they
wanted to train people to fly crop dusters and we put an end to that. You
see, they were all going to join the brotherhood of glider pilots until we
stopped their tow plane training program.

The idea behind meeting force with nothing is that force falls on its
face. We tried to hug Sadam to death in the 80s. See how well that worked?

Absolutely! After all of those Afghans and Iraqis hijacked those planes
and turned them into weapons of mass destruction, we were reluctantly
forced to invade their countries, so they would never be tempted to mess
with us again. We needed to make these people behave properly, like our
good friends, the Saudi Arabians. What is it with you America haters?

But IIRC they were neither Afghans not Iraqis, although they may have been
sponsored and trained by Al Quaida which is (or was) mainly in Afghanistan,
they were ... Saudi Arabians !
