Want a war that "will not end in our lifetime", an unending series of attacks and counterattacks? Want to be reminded daily of the dangers of Islamofascism and how we must continue to sacrifice our money and our children to fight it? Just vote Rudy Giuliani or just about any of the other Republican candidates into office. The hatred and fear they engender will provide the collective emotional fuel to keep the U.S. in perpetual war.
Want a candidate who has taken the trouble to understand the various situations of current conflicts objectively and from the other side's point of view, whose goal is reconciliation, not retribution.? Look into the campaigns of Republican Ron Paul and Democrat Dennis Kucinich. They offer a reasonable alternative to endless warfare that only serves the purposes of the already economically privileged and politically powerful.
