House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer states, "Our troops are mired in a civil war with no clear enemy and no clear strategy for success."

It is my opinion that having a clear enemy and success strategy is less important than providing the image to the world that we stand for, and will fight for, freedom and the right of self-determination. We cannot back away from this responsibility and still look at ourselves in the mirror the next day. Let's quit treating this as a game requiring a loser and a winner and start thinking of it as of providing hope to the oppressed.
