Actually no I do not think Bin Laden is still there and has not been for some time,
it is my way of saying until we have routed the insurgents we stay. To me Bin
Laden is only a symbol of this rabble like the statement on a T shirt.
As for Saudi radicals operating inside the United States that is only partly true.
These radicals had their way paid by those people in Afghanistan or agents of
those in Afghanistan. As someone who leans toward the social democratic scale
on many issues, certainly not all, I have a hard time advocating for conflict on the
world stage. Sometimes though it does have to be and I consider the Islamic
problem every bit as serious as the Nazi problem was in the 20TH century.
Unchecked and Unchallenged, is something that always catches up with us in the
end.
It also troubles me because I like many others have family members who are in the
service and there are a few on the front lines mostly from eastern Canada. I don't
want to see them killed or wounded but the stakes are high here. When we are
confronted by people who don't want little girls to read and write or when they will
use their offices to murder people because they don't agree with their lifestyle,
I say we have to push those people back under the rocks they crawled out from.
I also think it is time we developed an immigration policy that screens creeps like
this out of our country.
Like I said else where I am left on some some issues and right on others, and
Afghanistan is one of those cases where we have to be engaged, even my peace
monger wife agrees with my position on this, surprisingly enough.
