The following article is from the Washington Post and MSN News. Permanent war is our reality. All of this bombing and killing, what is it going to accomplish? All it's going to do is increase hostility and spur more terrorist attacks. It's certainly not going to help resolve anything. It's just going to make things worse.
A reminder of the permanent wars: Dozens of U.S. airstrikes in six countries
In Iraq and Syria, between Friday and Monday, the U.S. conducted about 45 strikes against Islamic State targets. On the other side of the Mediterranean, in the Libyan city of Sirte, the U.S. also hit fighters with the group. On Sunday in Yemen, a U.S. drone strike killed six suspected members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The following day, just across the Gulf of Aden in Somalia, the Pentagon targeted al-Shabab, another group aligned with al-Qaeda. And the military conducted several counterterrorism strikes over the holiday weekend in Afghanistan, where the Taliban and the Islamic State are on the offensive.
