Say what you like about Iraq, there is plenty of reasonable disagreement about the war. But when you go off about Afghanistan, you sail right off into la-la land. This is the country that was home to the Taliban, remember them? The guys that blew up 2000 year old monolithic wall carvings of the Buddha? The guys that didn't let women go to school and forced them all to wear burkas? The guys that installed a 12th century-style Muslim caliphate in their country? The guys that harbored Al Qaeda? Even the French were on board for that invasion.
