What's the exist strategy? How can we be sure when we've "won"?

How long will the strikes go on for? What if it drags on for months or even years?

Why are we ALWAYS bombing the Middle East?

Can we afford it? Where are we gonna get the money?

Why can't we feed the poor here at home instead?

Etc..etc...etc...
