Here are two really good essays about our "wars" in the Middle East:

Most of us have heard this quote, or one like it:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
I tend to agree, but there are few good people in Congress ... or anywhere in DC for that matter. They've been cheering on all our undeclared wars for decades, and the sound and fury is reaching a climax. Many of them are frustrated because our Constitution makes it difficult to wage war, but there is a reason for that. The Founders (and most sane people of today) did not WANT our nation to be at war all the time.
I know it sounds old school, but wouldn't we be better off if we stopped trying to be the world's cop?
