Obama's Postponement Response

I am in complete agreeance with how the author of the 'New News' blog responded to Obama's postmonement of the withdrawl of our American soldiers from the Middle East soil. The role of the United States political system as the "World Police" has gone on for far too long. In other words, "you can lead a horse to water but, you can't make it drink." We can stay in this war for years on end, but our goal of making these foreigners accept the idea of peace and loving their neighbors is only something that can be done from their own will. This war's foundation is on revenge. That revenge has taken the form of teaching our opponent a life lesson. Sure, defeat on their behalf might put a dent in their terrorist attacks. However, it's the character behind these attacks that needs to change. Their reasoning for causing such travesty is what needs to change. Changing their way of reasoning is a difficult task which is most likely not achieved through a war. That kind of change takes root in culture, tradition, and familiarity. An outside force telling them "no, this way is right" is a strange idea and therefore, harder to accept. Withdrawl from this war is an absolute must. Sending more young women and men abroad to sign their life away for reasons that they may not even be aware of, is absurd. Also, a great level of hypocrisy on Obama's behalf should be considered. His platform for presidency was "change." He promisd a withdrawl from this war. Yet, his actions continue to prove that this promise to the his nation will go unfulfilled. How many other promises will we see go down this path as well? To conclude, a withdrawl from the war is a clear win. Great deals of money would be saved, lives would be spared, and promises would be fulfilled.
