I understand to an extent what you are saying but again, this not a war that you can send politicians in to buy our problems away! This is dealing with the most powerful threat to us all....faith. These people believe in their cause more than most Americans believe in our cause to defend against it! They have the ultimate power ...to die without hesitation to accomplish their mission! In this case no amount of money, negotiations, or reasoning will solve the problem. Saddam is not what he used to be because we thumped his **s and his military! Again you are right and I feel that I am right(and so does the Bush adm. and the Joint Chiefs!)
Total debilitation of the Taliband and Bin Laden is the only successful way to resolve or at least reduce the terror in this world!
