USA WAR weary, not really

Americans expect to be winners.
In war its a forgone conclusion.
WWI, WWII, KOREA.

Americans expectations are not being met.
The paradigm has changed, but expectations 
have not.

USA shifted to a more humane war,
on the basis of technology.

In WWII US and the allies had a clear cut
victory, Japan and Germany signed treatys.
AND THE WAR WAS OVER.

Back then there was no fighting for hearts 
and minds. 
It was carpet bombing, bombing civilians
and Military into submission.

Under the old paradigm of maximum calusities
civilians just wanted the war over, no or very
little residual fighting, no terrorism.

Under the new paradigm the goal is minimum
causalities, but its seems there is alot of residual 
fighting, terrorism.

The civilian population has not been bombed into 
submission, like in WWII.

Also in WWII US was fighting a Government
a Country, and there was a process a infrastructure 
in place for surrender.

With Al Qaeda all that is missing, US is fighting an
idea not a country.

 The paradigm of winning hearts and minds seems 
to be a failure, USA hasn't been able to make it work.
Even with NGO projects, and civilian projects to make 
life better, roads, elect power, schools etc.
Submission to peace through good will doesn't seem 
to work.

Part of the problem is long term enlightenment for
USA, continuity from one administration to the next.

Historically USA has failed at basic democratic 
principles for other states. But America is making 
progress. Less Imperialism and more Democracy.

Less of Iranian abuse;undemocratic imperialism;
US helped over throw the first Iranian Democratic
Government:

And more democratization, like Syria operation;

A contiguity of  policys, like on Iranian nukes.

Americans are not so tired of war as they are of 
inclusive results, AQ, taliban lack of victories.

A lack of victory doesn't mean USA lost.
USA never looses in battle.
And that is much different than acquiring a victory.

Winning against AQ doesen't mean they surrender
it means they don't attack CONUS again.
Their bastardization of  Islam will slowly die out
as conditions improve.

Replaced by the Arab Spring, AQ is a failure.

If USA is consistent in its democratic policys
terrorist will have little ammunition with civilians.
And little need to win minds and hearts as they will 
already have them.

And the winning hearts and minds paradigm is still
in its early stages. Coke and Pepsi have winning hearts
and minds down to a science. When those drinks have 
been banned the civilian populations often force their returns.

We may have already beaten AQ, 




But that isn't the publics expectation, they want a victory, disbandment, surrender.
Expacations must be handled better.

Number Two AQ recently called for major attack
on USA with no results, USA did shut down embassies.

And a call for cyber attacks on 911 went unheeded.
Both victories of sorts.


@SenRandPaul shames America with his statements 
he doesn't care about children killed by sarin gas in
Syria with excuses it cost to much to stop it, and engenders 
hatred towards America. 

It endangers all Americans.

Every time USA plays by Russian rules they win short
term, long term its very expensive.
NO ONE TRUSTS RUSSIANS, NOT EVEN RUSSIANS.
They would play by the old paradigm still, except
for America. 
Putin has the heart and soul of a swamp gator, and
steals football rings.

Americas policys on Democracy need to apply across 
the board all the time.
