The assistance by a nation-state is exactly why we went to war with Afghanistan. Rightly so, in my opinion. But as Mantus suggests, we have not completed the job of stablizing the government that we overturned.
That the administration continues to insist that the invasion of Iraq is a "war on terror" simply can't be supported by the pre-war information that is coming to light now. Mantus is correct when he claims that we have created a "greenhouse" for terrorists rather than having quelled terrorism.
How does one declare war on a noun?
