It is a big puzzle, but a very interesting one. And there are several books, several blog sites and now we have the template from afghanistan being reproduced in iraq and syria. This is what Osama Bin Laden wanted to do, take over afghanistan. I dont think he realized or believed this could happen. But now we have a caliphate deck lated in iraq and syria and it comes directly out of the model from afghanistan. So when we took our eye off the ball in 2003, on march 19th, went into iraq, that sent another signal to the world, that we werent serious about afghanistan. And if you talk to a lot of many of you must have military friends or friends that are still serving or
Which isnt easy. Our country is a lot bigger and its different and we know that. Thats why we need support for that because it is a daunting you know, experience. Ford foundations already, you know, pledged their support. We need other powerful entities within our own country to think this is an important issue. So certainly that is one of the areas we feel theres a huge gap. The other one is were really hoping American Media can find ways to collaborate. Certainly in the field, thats so important. Jim seemed to feel that freelancers did as a whole, thats all they had is one another so they tended to Work Together in the field. But we really would love to see if we couldnt do more as American Media for colleagues in captivity, if you will. I realize this complex is very competitive here in our country.
