32. It poses an insignifican "threat" to America, except that it's bankrupting us.

We have, by an plausible measure, lost a war that was unwinnable from the day we started it.

Al Queda and its allies have not been diminished, but strengthened as a result of our attempts to quell it.

We have needlessly lost thousands of our own troops.

Our "ally" Pakistan is in shambles and is now at war with many of its own people because of our efforts.

We are not looked upon as friends in the Middle East and much of South Asia.

Our military has been shown, and continues to be shown, as inept despite the advertising of being the World's Mightiest Military.

We have, literally, wasted over 1 Trillion dollars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, and God knows where else.

Our own government is cracking down on our civil liberties in a futile attempt to keep us "safe".

It's as if Osama Bin Laden wrote the script for us to follow and we dutifully did so with our own embellishments.

And, ALL that we have to show for all of the above is one dead man dumped in the ocean.
