I will, politely, disagree with you on your evaluation of 1) how the war is going, 2) what we are doing/how we are doing it, and 3) why any Americans would want to leave.

America’s will can be broken, America is not invincible. Is this the kind of message you want to send to the enemy?

Reconsider your position before it’s too late.

This sounds distinctly as if America has (or should have) a God Complex, which I believe is part of the issue many countries have with America’s position on the war right now. In addition, the idea that we should base our actions purely on what other people think, rather than on what our countrymen think (which is, I believe, the whole point of a democracy) is somewhat askew from the essential goal of spreading democracy, isn’t it? And lastly… your remark comes off sounding mildly threatening. Threatening more terror to get us to respond in a manner convenient to your own seems far more in line with the opposite side of this ‘war’.
