the entire war is just sad.

we are at a time when no war is "winnable"

It pains me to see the news, and what is happening.

I agree with you. I think people and their countries need to accept or embrace more social responsibility. These days, everyone assumes someone else will take care of the problem. Parents assume teachers will teach their kids while teachers assume that parents will instill decent manners into their children. It goes like that outside of our country where situations arise, let's say like Iran, and everyone assumes someone else will take care of the problem. We've numbed ourselves to everything and I see that as a reason why most of the world isn't with us when we fight terrorism, etc. Once something huge happens, alot of those countries are going to wonder why it wasn't prevented. I guess alot of people don't believe in being proactive. Look at 9/11, everyone just wants to point fingers of why it wasn't averted. Well, look back at Clinton's 2nd term and the beginning of Bush's. They were both trying to fund more money into programs that would defeat terrorism and upscale homeland security but alot of people, assuming Dems, shot the idea down. Their arguement was, "why spend money on things that aren't broken when we can spend it to let illegal immigrants come into our country easier"... but then they are the ones pointing fingers after the fact. It's just crazy. Again, we need more social and political responsibility and it starts at home.
