1. Iraq is more important than Afghanistan
2. Iraq will be easier than Afghanistan - it has a
history as a functioning nation-state, which
Afghanistan singularly does not.
3. We're doing more in Afghanistan than you seem to
think we're doing.  The Karzai government is still
standing, after all, and we just fought a fairly major
battle there to suppress one of the warlords.  Neither
of those things would be happening without active and
continual American support.
