Needless to say I don't agree with your rationale, Greg, but that's a much more thoughtful answer than you've given previously, and I appreciate it. I really didn't want to believe you were one of the crowd that believes that our being over there in some way guarantees that the terrorists won't be able to attack us.
So, we both agree that successful counter-terrorism activities involve activities abroad. I think it's hard to deny that. The question, then, is what kind of activities represent the best and most effective use of our resources when talking about the goal of denying Al Qaeda the ability to operate freely.
I understand you & I & Dutch disagree on this, but I'm not going to bother re-hashing this at the moment because I feel I've talked through this enough with the two of you over the past few years. Maybe another day when I have more time or more wherewithal.
