    The USA trained, equipped and paid lavishly a local army of 300,000 to uphold western values after their withdrawal. It took a bunch of men with Hiluxes and light weapons less than a week to sweep them aside. There's no reason a new "crusade" would be any more successful, still less any moral justification for one.

    Aghanis want to live without western liberalism. The 20 years of occupation was not "helping our neighbour", it was imposing alien systems and values on a people at the barrel of a gun.
