Sen. Joseph Lieberman says,

“The war on terror will end once we’ve empowered the Muslim majority to stand up against extremists.”

In his piece in The Wall Street Journal Opinion ,  Sen. Joseph Lieberman both warns of the dangers looming in Afghanistan and encourages with an eye to our strengths:

The biggest strength is the American military, which through the crucible of Iraq has transformed itself into the most effective counterinsurgency force in history. Although Iraq and Afghanistan are very different, many of the guiding principles of counterinsurgency do apply to both theaters — most importantly, the need to provide security for the population. Moreover, our troops will be redeploying from Iraq to Afghanistan with the momentum, experience and morale that comes with success.
