Vote it up guys!

Of course we shouldn't send more tools of destruction to die and incite fear and hatred around the world.

Wow, judging from the comments, we have made no progress. How can anyone be this ignorant to want to nuke, let alone continue to kill, those who had nothing to do with 911.
I bet 90% of these keyboard toughguys don't even know the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. And this is from a liberal site.

Yep, these people will support whatever they think is "tough." Never will the cost of this war or the Constitution actually enter into these people's minds.

When Bush was in Afghanistan he was an evil republican but Obama is a liberator.

It seems the whole anti-war movement were led by a bunch of socialist hypocrites?

If you want to debate whether the terrorists groups responsible for 9/11 are in Afghanistan it is irrelevent at this point. They are already trying to get a hold of Pakistan nukes and it has become a terrorist launching pad. You can't just pull out without stabilizing the region otherwise it will come back to haunt us.

From the George Will article posted:


: America should do only what can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, airstrikes and small, potent Special Forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters.


Does not sound like such a bad idea.
