Taliban? Afghanistan?

Try this on for size: Iraq and our ol' buddy Saddam; Libya; Sudan; Algeria; perhaps Syria and Iran, too. And this list could be expanded.

I HOPE AND PRAY that our national leadership has more vision and understanding of the true size of this conflict than the average FReeper apparently does. If YOU PEOPLE don't get it, how can the American people hope to get it?
