Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the bravery of first responders who put their lives at risk to save others. The attacks began an era of endless war for our country and we must change course.https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2019-06-24/ending-americas-endless-war …

Instead of staying focused on those who attacked us, the Bush administration chose to declare a global “war on terror” in order justify its 2003 invasion of Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. The war on terror has turned into an endless war.

This endless war has damaged America's global standing. It has scarred a generation. It has corroded our politics. It has cost American taxpayers nearly $6 trillion. And it has produced more terrorists. We must end this endless war.

We must envision a new form of American engagement: one in which we lead not in war-making but in finding shared solutions to shared global challenges. U.S. power should be measured not by our ability to blow things up, but to bring people together around our common humanity.

This was Bin Laden's plan all along. The purpose of terrorism to instill fear in your enemy. The US used to be the home of the brave, but now we are nothing more than weak, simpering cowards; frightened by things like children seeking refuge in our country.

It is scary to imagine what would have happened to America if sanders was the president on 9/11 2001, but thankfully he’s never going to be the president.

You were in Congress for all of those years, yet as a Senator you were unable to pass any legislation stopping this. Bush & Obama carried on the same war policy, Obama started 7 more conflicts compared to Bush 3. Trump is the first President these last 16 years not starting wars
