Moving Target

Watching MSNBC this morning we were reminded by Harold Ford Jr. that despite our ongoing efforts in Afghanistan against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the real problem remains in Pakistan. When Iraq was the focus during GWB, we were told by Obama that Afghanistan was where the real fight should be. Unfortunately, all are wrong. Since most of the original 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, that is where our focus should have been initially addressed as well as currently.

For my money Saudi Arabia and Wahabism are the real culprits behind Islamic fundamentalists. Born in Saudi Arabia, and the sect behind the power of the House of Al Saud, Wahabism should be the true enemy of the West and of any modern civilization. Wahabism is the extreme face of the Muslim faith and continues to fuel intolerance for the likes of the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
