>It is strange you're concerned about this given your stance on Iraq.

How so?

>Bin Laden is a tiny aspect of the problem, and they day he's gone you just have another guy to replace him.

And then you take that guy out. And the next. But you keep your resources focused on that group rather than moving on. I, for one, credit the Sharon administration in Israel, for better or for worse, for making his country a bit safer, at least on a day-to-day basis, for taking out Hamas leaders with impunity.

>We may not have figured out how to defeat Al Qaeda yet. What we DO KNOW is that traditional methods (sending 100K troops) won't work. If you think that should have been done you ARE confused. It isn't THAT kind of war.

I do know that it's not the kind of war where you want to leave without tying up the loose ends, killing or capturing the leaders and rebuilding the country that you've invaded. We've done neither in Afghanistan.
