Tell me, what exactly would it look like if we "bow down to their ideology"?

Under their ideology, meaning the terrorists, I believe

1. You would be wearing a burqa.
2. Women would be under the complete domination of the males in society.
3. Women would be treated as second class citizens.
4. We (The US of A) would be under Sharia law and
5. I would probably be dead and in my grave due to having been beheaded.

That is how it would look although probably not through my eyes.

You honestly believe that is what would have happened had we not gone to war in Afghanistan?

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.
