Pakistan just initiated a several month in the making plan to crack down on Al Qaeda. They launched aprox. 30,000 troops in a region controlled by Al Qaeda, including a large stronghold thought to be a possible Osama Bin Ladin hideout. The operation is going to last aprox. 2 months.
What do you guys think?
I personally think this is long over due. Now we won;t have to fight another country's war by ourselves.
Democracy does not work unless the people want it. A sizable portion of the world doesn't want it. So we should quit trying to cram it down others throat. Lets finish Iraq since it might actually be close to done, figure out if Afghanistan is worth the effort, give Iran the bird and go home. Then get out of world affairs for about 10 years and figure out who is really an ally and who are really our enemies. Then only get involved if an ally is threatened and tell the rest of the world to toss off. Afghanistan has been fighting everyone including themselves so long I really wonder if most over there have any concept of what peace really could be.
