Re: Fred Kaplan needs to be more realistic

We can't fight al-Qaeda from home. I think the idea is to not have to fight it at home. Tell me exactly how and how successful India, UK, Germany and Spain are fighting Islamic terrorism.

Two things to think about before you reply:

1. None of those countries have been hit nearly as hard as the US by a single terrorism attack.

2. They happen to fight terrorism from home because the terrorists either were born in their countries or have moved there.

3. None of those countries have dealt blows to terrorist groups like we have.

And how the fuck is al-Qaeda not a military problem? Should we just press charges?
