Afghanistan as a country has been a lost cause for decades....we weren't going to change that. Our war there was all about revenge, which I was find with, by the way. We should never have even pretended to try to rebuild that country or to make it better in any way. We owe that country and it's people nothing. THe minute the Taliban were scattered and it became apparent that we were NOT going to capture Bin Laden in that country, we should have left. I grow tired of this "haven for terrorists" mumbo jumbo. There will ALWAYS be a haven for terrorists...if not in Afghanistan, then somewhere else. This idea that we can somehow blow up enough shit that there will no longer be terrorist havens....is stupid.
WE should have cut our losses and left years ago. That place is hopeless, and there's nothing we can do to change that. On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 11:35 AM, Larry C.
