Benefits of the War:
There is one result of the war that I didn't expect. Every day I read in the news about the latest arrests of El Qaida or other terrorist suspects. Today alone it was New York and the U.A.E. It seems the war has shown them in their true light and as a result everyone appears to be more or less working together to solve the problem. Even the Saudis, whose actions on the matter have been suspect at least. However, the desperation that causes the creation of terrorists remain in much of the world. The resulting radical responses to this desperation will continue so long as these social conditions remain unchanged.
