2. It has very little to do with religion - religion is the vehicle. It is about the will to power. To say,as libs do, that SF and UBL wouldn't have worked together is naive to the point of absurdity. It is feasible that given final victory, one would have turned on the other, but we will never know now - Thank you POTUS.

Give it five years. It cannot be won. But the alternative is even more unacceptable. Therefore we fight.

Agreed, but I have a real problem with this. This is a big part of the reason why people say things like "Bush lied." I believe we need to trust the American people and be straight with them. We need to educate them about the threat we face and what is necessary to deal with it. Then they will support it. Otherwise, we'll have the resistance we are seeing today.
I love this topic. Where is Jimbo?
