i have real problems with the reasons we're in iraq, but it would appear that the dude responsible for the attack on the WTC is hiding with his minions in either afghanistan or pakistan. i spent a couple of years in viet nam and had no idea why we were there other than to beef up defense contractors wallets, but hopefully you are going to afghanistan with a purpose. learn your job, do it well, and send that son of a bitch to the promised land...
