They have gotten stronger after 9-11 because of our policy. We didn’t kill the snake when we had the hoe in the hand. Al Qaeda is now trying to destabilize Pakistan. We’ve got to support a democratic Pakistan without appearing as meddling which strenghtens Al Qaeda. Afghanistan is nearing the point that they might be able to sustain a government without a meltdown. Remember, Afghanistan’s enemy is not its neighbors but from within. Nobody wants to stay in Afghan. ask alexander the Great, Genghis Khan,Brits, Russians, and now us.</p> The command and control for al Qaeda is still in the mountains of Pakistan.
