I heard the situation put into simple and clear perspective by Condi Rice this morning. Afganistan (and other places) are this hide-out where they train, shield, and recruit terrorists. Then every few months they go out and strike somewhere in the world. They've been doing this for years, and there have been a string of INCREASINGLY large attacks. Their view is that they have crossed the line. And now we need to go in and clean out that rat's nest before more terror is delivered to the rest of the world. A job needs to be done, for the good of the world. And the US is willing to accept the loss of life of our soldiers, the economic costs, and the political costs. I agree. I am very much against the innocent being killed, but the US military is made up of moral individuals. Plus, most of the innocent are in refugee camps in Iran or Pakistan, or heading there at high speed now.
