We've been distracted from our ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq ever since fighting broke out in the Middle East and we need to refocus some of our attention on where it's needed.
It's being reported that a family in Texas has lost both of their sons in combat. One was killed two years ago in Iraq, the other recently died in Afghanistan.
Losing one son would be bad enough, but losing both? I cannot begin to imagine the pain that this family is going through.
Before we commit to joining any more foreign adventures, we need to conclude our business in Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe it to the fallen and their families to finish the job that they started and then get out of there.
So perish the thought of U.S. troops being peacekeepers in Lebanon. If we do go over there, it'll be to fight Hezbollah, not keep them away from Israel. Hezbollah has the blood of 241 U.S. Marines on their hands from the 1983 Beruit barracks bombing that they have yet to answer for.
