The war on terrorism has predictably and steadily increased terrorism.

U.S. commanders of the war have said it should be ended the moment after they left that position and have called the war and various aspects of the war counterproductive for many years now.

Candidate Trump said the war should be ended.

The war has murdered hundreds of thousands of people.

The war makes people all over the world despise the United States.

The people who make Saturday Night Live would make IEDs instead if some foreign force occupied Manhattan.

They'll probably do something dumber than that when Manhattan goes underwater.

The war has cost the United States trillions of dollars.

A tiny fraction of that could have ended starvation on earth or provided actual aid on a scale to make the United States the most loved country in the world.

The war has had a devastating impact on the natural environment in Afghanistan and globally.

We've lost many freedoms, justified by this mass-murderous crime for "freedom!"

Veterans of the war are disproportionately represented in the recent crop of mass-shooters.

We don't have to say "U.S. mass shooters" because that's basically redundant.

People who try to flee Afghanistan and other hells the U.S. creates are the same people liberals have at least mixed emotions about under the name "immigrants."

The Saturday Night Live studio audience was conspicuously silent during the most warmongering remarks.

One line would have garnered more applause than the past season of the show: "End the f*cking war."
