I believe that is what
they (the terrorist) want. I take them at their word.
Had the Taliban turned over UBL when asked by GWB we wouldn't be in Afghanistan so it is all a moot point. We went after him, didn't get him, and have been fighting the Taliban ever since. We took him out, so now the question is, do we leave Afghanistan and let it go back to what it was pre-2001 or do we try to leave some semblence of a quasi-democracy in its place? I really couldn't give a crap about Afghanistan and its people as I consider them a lost cause. However, if we don't fight the terrorists somewhere we will probably have to fight them over here. They have already showed that they are willing to attack us here. Pick your place.
