We are losing, and you know it

Dear Mr. President, Sir:

I don't know why you continue keeping troops in Iraq, even when so many people in our country, the country you are supposed to care about, are against it. It should have never happened in the first place, and I personally believe you are provoking the attacks. The more attention you pay to a person, a group, a country, the more attention they get, and the more motivated they are. Why do we wear expensive clothing? To get attention. Why do you place huge pricetags on terrorists?... That's beyond me.

This madness has to stop. We are losing, and you know it. I don't know why this is continuing. Please consider taking an alternate, and safer route of action, and stop paying so much attention, and spending so much money, on security. It wouldn't change anything. These people are going to find loopholes in the system. We just need to ignore them, and hope it goes away.
