Sebastian Junger Under Fire

nationalgeographic.com

The author of 'The Perfect Storm' recently went to Afghanistan and met with the leader of the Northern Alliance (Ahmad Shah Massoud) and has created an amazing documentary that I saw highlights of...It should be on MCNBC or the National Geographic TV Station soon. I only wish The U.S. had more actively supported Massoud's Anti-Taliban efforts more aggressively earlier this year...He was after Bin Laden and his network but lacked the support he really needed...In August in a meeting in Paris he warned The U.S. that some massive terrorist acts could come to our country -- he had a hunch that Bin Laden and his network were planning something big (yet, he didn't know the details). Unfortunately, Bin Laden affiliates assasinated Massoud 2 days before they launched the massive September 11th strike against the U.S. I hope we now are ready and willing to partner effectively with the Northern Alliance and use Special Forces to decisively and surgically eliminate Bin Laden AND all of his key lieutenants. I pray for our troops as they launch a big offensive. Yet, we must go beyond the military action and work to de-legitimize terrorism and help the people in Afghanistan rebuild and develop a more stable and free government. The other terrorist cells in dozens of countries around the world will also need to be dealt with...The new global war on terrorism is almost like the cold war -- lets hope it won't last as long though.

Everyone should say prayers tonight for our leaders, our troops, and for the coalition as it moves into a new phase of activities. The world will never be the same again after what's happened in September of 2001.

Best Regards,

Scott
