And what do you think those 50,000 (or so) American reservers (i.e. soldiers) recalled to duty will do? Invade Afganistan? No way. Their job will be to hunt down the "enemy within." In effect, America is one step away from losing its internal freedom. And that will have tremendous repercussions throughout the western world. That's why I support your position on this whole affair. The situation right now could very easily get completely out of hand.
Best regards
