Bush and Afghanistan

The New York Times: Reports that the Bush Administration is holding a review in to its polices in Afghanistan. As Iraq was to Bush, Afghanistan will be to the next President, is can be postulated that the terrorists will want to test the new President in Afghanistan, it can be argued that the terrorists will try some kind of Vietnam Tet event; 1968 the Viet Cong had major uprising in the major towns of Vietnam, the Viet Cong lost but the event itself broke the American will in Vietnam; if its a Obama Presidency expect the terrorists to try to show that Obama is weak, either an a major attack in Afghanistan or on the American homeland. Thus the next American President will have to deal with Afghanistan and terror he will be tested by both, the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan allows the terrorists to attack both Afghanistan and Pakistan, these badlands are a heaven for the terrorists, even the British Empire could not control them during the time of the Raj. On the terrorist front, in 1993 we the first attack on the World Trade Centre by Car Bomb, in 2001 we 9/11. The common factor these are the first years in Clinton and Bush Administrations, also Gordon Brown had a terrorist event after coming in to power. Thus the security services have to be on guard, the eyes and ears have to be open, to quote an old line from Hill Street Blues, " Lets do it to them before they do it to us. " The world of 2009 could be a very risk place if the West is not secure in its security.
