#2 why stop killing them now? So they can regroup and America get lax in security so we can be hit again. Looks like some ppl didn't learn from the earliest wars in American history where we pretty much disbanded the military after each conflict too have too hurry up and put one back together again when the next conflict arose.

#5 I really really think we need to ask ourselves when dealing with our enemies, "What would the Romans do?"

#6 Peter Bergen, of all people, should know that al Qaeda declared war on the United States. We ignored their declaration of war for several years.

It takes two sides for a war to end, and al Qaeda shows no inclination to stop fighting. Until they do, we have to finish a war they started.

#7 Look at who funds ALQ to be able to defeat them.
