We are at war with Al Qaeda and use of American troops has proven ineffective therefore we must seek and destroy the terrorists using intelligence assets. This should not be a political issue, while we should rightly mourn the loss of two innocent lives we must remember the loss of over three thousand innocent lives on 9-11!
