Are you saying we're not going after Bin Ladin?

Tell that to the thousands of Marines in Afghanistan. Tell that to one of the members of my chapter's advisor panel that just got back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Catching Bin Ladin is not all that important anyhow. He's just a leader of a movement that will survive without him. What we're doing now in Afghanistan is far more important. We're trying to bring about some sort of civilized way of life for those people. One where the suicide bomber mentality does not fester.

I don't think militarily we can just go and 'blow up' Al Quaeda.

I do think we can beat them in a war of ideas and ideals though.
