Umm yea you got a point but a front should not be opened or a war should not be entertained for extended period of time. In conventional war the ideal is to attack with overwhelming force, crush the enemy and END the war under the victor's terms.
But anyone cannot be ignorant as not to say that Afghanistan and Iraq couldn't pose as a destabilizing stage for a third or fourth conflict elsewhere and after that God knows who would take advantage of what and who would not.
Somehow the war in Afghanistan and Iraq have been dragging its feet too long.
PS I deleted my original comment to which you were replying. Sorry about that.
