no, but al qaeda is has a lot of terrorists in Afghanistan and on the Pakistan/Afghan border. It is important that we straighten out the mess in Afghanistan.

I'm in the minority view about the Iraq war. While it should have never happened to begin with (and I would NEVER believe that it was a Bush personal war). I dont think pulling out all of our troops is the answer. What is going to happen to that country if we just up and leave? I think our government should be very sure of an answer to that question before we leave. Just as we SHOULD HAVE been sure of what was going to happen when we invaded Iraq (something that was grossly miscalculated by Bush & crew)
