With a stable government, the country would be less and less likely to become a terrorist breeding ground. Since I know that that sort of action is unlikely, I'd have to say I think destroying al Qaeda and it's supporters is a more important action at the moment so I think continuing to fight them is what we should support.

If there even is an 'Al Qaeda' you can't just "destroy" them all...You cut the head off and two grow back...You must first work on establishing good relations between the very people that "Al Qaeda" are recruiting from.

How do you expect to promote good relations with people by flexing your military muscles? You guys should sugar-coat things a bit more...Send in a "peace-keeping" force...
