Alex - I don't think there are any good answers

But given the situation as it is (we, the USA at war) I really wish we would be more aggressive

If you make the commitment, you have to follow up

and of a lot of challenging choices, the war we are in now may be the best of a bad lot.

I don't know that economic sanctions or other political solutions would leverage enough pressure to solve the challenges. I don't know that anything can solve the challenges of terrorism

Do we face an enemy of extremists that will have to be eradicated or they will try to eradicate us?
