@ Tony, Strasburg -It's a shame you feel that way about those fighting to protect your way of life. You say this war is about business? Indirectly, it is. There is a huge wealth of money in Afghanistan. However, our involvement there is about much more than this. We don't fight there so that you can benefit from cheaper oil at home. We don't fight there to make politicans richer. The Western world has created a loveable cartoon-character out of Bin Laden, and his loveable rogues the Taliban. Let's not forget, in 1996, they slit the throats and skinned thousands of civilians in their effort to overthrow Kabul. Where do you think the Taliban put this money during their reigning years? Into creating jobs for the unemployed, or perhaps creating new Schools? No, they forced women into house-arrest, destroyed schools, and pumped the money into weaponry, all while carrying out a mass-genocide of the Afghan people. Given another 5 years, bearing in mind they had already branched out to attack the US in NY in 11/9, where do you think we would be now without direct involvement? Perhaps clearing up the debris of a nuclear bomb in a major city. The quote isn't about picking up a rifle and shouting "who's next?!", it's about people willing to sacrifice themselves for others. That doesn't necessarily mean a soldier diving on a grenade, either; there are many forms of sacrifice.
