To the Editor:
   Secretary Gates may well be correct when he states that Afghanistan is unique as the site where the attacks of 9/11 were planned. He is also irrelevant. Yemen is unique as the site of the only al-Qaeda attack on a U.S. warship, and Saudi Arabia is unique as the homeland of a majority of th 9/11 bombers  and the list could go on. Let the Department of Justice prosecute the crimes of the past. I need a military leadership that looks to our future good when deciding where to send our troops who are alive today and may be dead tomorrow.
