We all do, we're Americans and we want things NOW, results NOW, and we have little patience otherwise.
We also have a very short memory of wrongs from the past. We are barely a decade past 9/11, and we are ready to forget all that we resolved at that point, that we would not stop until the world was free of terrorism.
Guess what? It ain't, but we can't stomach a continuing war with it, so we are headed home.
We are Americans, and we have some weaknesses, patience and memory are two of them!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
