Sadly, there are some among us who are deluded beyond belief. They are of the mindset that if America retreated from the world (in particular the Middle East) the terrorist would stop attacking us.
What drivel.
Our precipitous retreat from Lebanon explicitly demonstrated that a cut and run methodology only produces deadly results. Why? Because it was this seminal event (which emboldened Islamists to see America as nothing more than a paper tiger) that helped paved the way for 9/11.
President Bush got it right when he said: "Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq, the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone. They will not leave us alone."
The deluded fail to understand the poignant lessons of history: That retreating from the world will never make us safe--just sorry.
