Merc,

You seem to be confusing the Taliban and Iran with someone else. They do not present a clear and present threat to the security of the United States. Iran is just now learning to enrich uranium and the most knowledgable experts feel that it will take them at least 5 years to make their first nuclear weapon. Then they need the means to get it to the U.S. Not an easy task. The Taliban and Osama are a rag tag group of criminals that we are pushing around Afghanistan on our spare time. WE ARE NOT IN DANGER. I will feel much safer when Dubya goes back to Texas.
