One can only hope that a change in office, as in new president and administration, will nix this idea, for it to remain for 20 years, it has to have funding, that is potentially 5 different presidential terms, do we think all of them are going to stand behind this objective?
One hopes not! I don't have an issue with keeping up intelligence and being aware of what is going on with terrorism across the globe, but going in and bombing and creating more violence and war just seem ridiculous.
I am not sure 'enjoying' is the right word, and I do not say this to be pedantic. I think too many people have been tricked and scared into believing this is our only route. With knowledge comes understanding and hopefully the fear will disipate. I have to remain hopeful that a new administration could bring more knowledge or truth and therefore undo some of the scaremongering that has taken place. I live in hope.
