What have we learned from 911? What have we learned from our current war in Iraq?

Question

What have we learned from our war in Afganistan? What have we learned from the Middle East conflict? What have we learned?

Answer 1

What we our learning is that American presence and involvement is important all over the world, thus we cannot ignore any nation, including the the usual supsects, Iran, Syria and North Korea as well as South America. America though she is mighty cannot afford to go it alone and needs more cooperation from countries other than England, Austria, Canada, Italy and small European States, in order to remedy and secure our national security interests. We still have the soilders who are of a quality stock to "represent", just like the venerable GI's in World War II, Korean and Vietnam War. They are still fighting the good fight after 4 years, this is the longest war the U.S. has participated in since WWII.
Our military is best in class in many facets of war, but our civilian decison makers really haven't given us the best chance to win. Sometimes I wish they were a Division 1 College Football Coach who is suppose to run the table and they have a losing season; and the civilian decision makers can be treated as such when they have a losing record. I think our country is still hurting from 911, the wives that have tried to get answers who have lost their husbands on the hijacked planes. The Tillman family that has sacrificed one of their best and feel that they have been lied to. And the many unnamed families who have lost ftheir fathers, sons, mothers, uncles and aunts to war. We should be slow to go to war, it should be a last option, not a knee jerk reaction coupled with a shoot first doctrine and ask questions and investigate later.
