You seem mightily concerned about AQ, but not so much with reducing the
violent attacks in Afg. and around the world.

I am concerned about dead Americans and a war that causes more
problems than it fixes. No more no less.

For Iraq, I agree. Talk to Bush. For Afg., it's too early to tell thanks
to
Bush.

We did depose Saddam in Iraq, what have we done in Afghanistan?

Not enough. We would have been more successful there if Iraq hadn't
happened.

It appears all we have really accomplished is to prop up a corrupt
Kabul government that will fail as soon as we leave and destabilize
Pakistan.

Perhaps it'll fail. We're trying to ensure that doesn't happen. Sounds like
you'd prefer not to try at this point.

We have a single minded obsession with Bin Laden in spite of the fact
that he has not been linked to any of the recent attacks and is far
from the worst threat to the US right now.

Actually, he's been linked to the recent Euro threat. Should we just forget
about him??
