what are the goals of the war in Afghanistan? Do we plan on establishing a democracy there too? What does a victory look like?
and by protestors, I mean the MASSIVE demostrations at the Repub convention or anti-Bush in other countries. Do you think those will continue?
No people from Afghanistan ever attached America, did they? Isnt that war 2X as un-winnable as Iraq?

I would say defeat the Taliban, since they sponsored Al Queda and Osama. If I'm not mistaken there has been a resurgence by the taliban in the region.

I guess we should just forget about it then 
and if you are trying to draw parrallels to Georgies "Late Revenge for Daddy" angle and the fact that these A-Holes slammed planes into buildings on our soil....thats a serious %$%$%$%$ing stretch. |

If I'm not mistaken they were Saudis.
How do you know they weren't trained in Saudi Arabia? |

They were....and I think a couple from yemen...which is why I said their citizenship wasn't from there.
and you are right about them training there...I made a fatal mistake and believed what the Bush....er.....I mean the last.....Administration told us. Silly me...
"Supposedly" trained there.....
....and the issue of Osama being there too... |
