Geo, if you are suggesting that we kill all of the extremists, I have no problem. If you are suggesting that we kill all muslims, I have a real big problem with that.


"If there is such a small number of terrorists then why hasnt the American, Canadian, British, French, German etc militiary brought down this small number of terrorists? There are thousands of them. Why cant our combined militiary which are the best trained in the world cut off the head of the taliban snake? "

Al Quada may have been relatively small in number. However, they also had/have the backing of the Taliban who were in control of Afganistan when we went in. We are fighting both groups. This is also not a conventional war. Our forces are fighting relatively small, scattered groups, who have a lot of places to hide. They fit right in with the local population and in some areas the locals are giving them support. We also allowed ourselves to become distracted by going into Iraq. We should have finished the job in Afganistan first. I'm sure there are others here who could provide more detail on all of this than me.
