Subject: Silly question #2

My daughter just turned 2. She loves bubbles. I was blowing some the
other day and a question popped to mind that I can't figure out. If a
soap-water solution has lower surface tension than pure water does, then
shouldn't pure water form longer lasting bubbles than soapy water? Does
surface tension even enter the picture here?
