Musharraf will probably get the blame, although with all the crazies running around, who can know for sure? If he did have a hand in it, it would rank right up there for stupidity with Ferdinand Marcos orchestrating the assassination of Benigno Aquino (or even more so, given the current world climate and the greater international consequences).

Al Qeda. Pakistan and Afghanistan were just starting to come together in realizing that Al Qeda is their common enemy. Baby steps, but in the right direction.

I think what needs to happen is that we put together a world-wide force, like the Gulf War, and send a 2 million man army into Pakistan to surround and eradicate Al Qeda once and for all. Anything goes. Seek and destroy.

Allowing them free run where they are now negates all we did to drive them out of Afghanistan in the first place and what we say is our goal in Iraq. It's 2008 in a few days - time to put this war on terror into high gear. Should have happend 6 years ago.

Good in theory. But.... how do you identify an Al Qaeda from Binder Dundat over there? The terrorists aren't exactly that easy to identify from the general population.
You're right though. Afghanistan is becoming more and more of a mess every day with Taliban battalions forming.

That is a myth. The only reason they make any noise at all is because they are allowed to run back to Pakistan and hide. Hopefully, the President will back up his "you are either for us or you are against us" statement when it comes to Pakistan.

Or maybe, just maybe the rutabaga will FINALLY DISCOVER where the "bad guys" really were all the time!

You don't destroy an idea by killing thousands of people. Never has worked.

Totally different as it was limited to small geographical sections of three countries and NOT a grass roots quasi-religious following worldwide.
