Ten years after the attack on the WTC, our troops and other interests are still scattered around the corners of the globe. In many of the countries, we are not wanted or admired. Our military, contrary to American propaganda, do not inspire good will in many of these countries. We see a different picture from how most of those countries feel about us.
Before 9/11, we had put troops into Saudi Arabia, the home of Mecca and the Islam religion. It was unwise and dangerous. You can only swipe at a hornet's nest so many time before they attack back. The attack on 9/11 was not unprovoked.
With our continued presence in these countries, we will never be secure. Homeland Security cannot protect us from all attacks, no matter how many billion or trillions we spend on defense or security. We are making permanent enemies that will drain our wealth and resources and make us a poor third-world country.
We, as a people, need to end these wars and provocation. We need to bring our troops home. The many years of imperialism should end. Otherwise, we will have enemies for ever.
