don't know how Bush is going to be able to get out of Afganistan without engaguing in "Nation Building".

The same point was made on a tv show that I watched last night. We bombed Afghanistan.
Now, how will we get out of the spider's web? Or I suppose I should say webs since so
many ethnic groups are involved in this war on terrorism.

An Islam scholar on the tv show said that terrorism is linked to politics. Terrorism
doesn't have anything to do with religion. Bin Laden and others have used people's ignorance
of their religion to make them believe that they fight a Holy War. A martyr in a true Holy War
expects nothing in return. It is the terrorists who make the suicide bombers believe that
they'll find 70 virgins in Heaven after they die.
