Al Re.. don't wish to share anymore than what i said. <<<

Fair enough. But,with either you, or one of your sons, being a member of the military, why would you possibly want to fight the war on terrorism, on our home ground, where the army can't project its power as well. Throughout the cold war, the wars which have been the costliest to the US, have been the ones where we were held back by political reasons. Here we are in another war, and you don't want us to project our power into the middle east for political reasons. Its obvious that, if we would hope for a quick end at low costs, that we must reform the middle east, before they obtain WMD from Korea or Pakistan.

It is a gamble, however, waiting here, and hoping Al Qaeda goes away before they do more damage, is a bigger gamble. If Al Qaeda obtains a nuke from either Korea or Pakistan, it will be unlikely the war can be won without experiencing many times the casualties, we would expect now.
