They have obviously been researching every weakness we have, and are ready, willing and intending to exploit everyone they possibly can.

We need such a study of the weaknesses of our enemy, and first off how to use the mountains of Afghanastan against the foe there instead of visaversa. Enough people have been defeated by that terrain to put together a list of what not to do, then work from there.

Like the Arabs on the Boston flight the other day that other passengers refused to fly with, I am not sure, considering the consequences of being wrong, that we can simply ignore the presence of middle eastern looking people. As much as we want to be blind to ethnic and racial differences, we may do it at our peril under the circumstances of these days. The last thing I would want is to declare open season on everyone who appears to be middle eastern, but on the other hand, those in positions of authority, absolutely have to go by Reagan's rule for dealing with the Soviets-"trust, but verify" anything less is insanity.

The mountains of Afganistan may prove to be a challenge.I heard a discouraging thing, 82 of Afganistans mtns. are over 4 MILES high,and the skys are not cloudy all day!

nuking the nations that have harbored, financed and had knowledge about these radical groups and did nothing would make it most unprofitable for them to not deal with their problems within 7 days. i have a feeling the current suspicions of islam in america will go a long ways to slowing down and dispersing those with murder in their hearts inside our own borders to find and nail each and every one of them. this is so serious that no one quite has a handle on what we are in.
