"why is there an al-Quaeda in the first place?" There's no quick, glib answer.
I understand that. and actually originaly said something to that effect but deleted it after. I just believe America keeps digging its own holes in recent foreign affairs. Recent as in starting with Vietnam.

This is conspiracy-theoryish, but it's a hugely interesting perspective and does factually explain the birth of bin Laden's al-Qaeda. If you read it just be patient, go past the partisan stuff for the history only. I dont think this was ever shown on US TV (maybe, not sure).
I love how some RINO nitwits still like to play world cop.
I'm amazed how some nitwits like to retreat like cowards and give the regime that enables terrorist training camps a free pass. Not to mention allowing Bin Laden a free pass as well. People like you are a danger to this country. Disgusting.

I'm neither a RINO, a nitwit nor a proponent of playing world cop.
But, least we forget, the war in Afghanistan is not a world cop exercise, it's a totally legitimate, fully justified act of self defense because that's where the 9/11 attacks originated.
Do I like the way we've been doing it? No, the previous administration dropped the ball, badly, but that's no reason to just quit and go home, leaving those who would harm us again in control of the field. The new administrations plans have a good chance of success, so give them time to work before throwing in the towel.
Do you wonder why there is an Al Queda in the first place?
No, I don't wonder about it. I already know, but this isn't the place for a long diatribe on what caused the rise of al Queda and similar groups. Suffice it to say that they are there, they're still active, they mean us harm and we cannot simply walk away and pretend they're not.

and The US means no harm? The US is responsible for plenty of deaths as well. I am no anti war hippie but the more I learn about this so called war on terror the more it sounds like the war on drugs.
Actually, Obama campaigned relentlessly on the platform that he would end combat operations in Iraq and ramp them up in Afghanistan in order to pursue Al Qaeda.
I think his opponents assumed he was a dove based on propaganda and not really paying close attention, but he laid out a pretty intensive military strategy and now he's following through.
So, yes, redeploying troops to more effectively fight the war on terror is the hope and change for which we voted.
Thank You, you beat me to it.
