Powerclown... I can see the difference. I just don't see how you can possibly go to war with it.

They are not a nation. They are a relatively small group of people. Their efforts to do damage in the West are quite limited (if not spectacular). And yet, we have mobilized a couple of the largest armed forces in the world to combat them. Altered our own laws so we can be more like the repressive states they appear to want to create (how's that for irony)?

The only ones who are benefitting from a massive military response to this are weapons and logistics contractors (oh and terrorist recruiters).

I am glad to hear that you have hope for their rehabilitation. I share that hope.

In fact, if all we had to talk about was how things were progressing in Afghanistan I would be happy. That was justifiable military action. It is the idiocy of Iraq that clouds the issue.
