the afghanistan war, page-2

Stuffed if I could send such fine young men to their deaths in such a futile war. We should bring them home ASAP.

About the only thing the war has achieved is that it has disrupted Al Qaeda such that they can't build up bases from which they can train suicide attacks on the US. The problem is that this war can't be won. Eventually they'll have to negotiate a truce with the Taliban and put them into a shared government regime and probably ten years down the track they'll be running the country again....

Cheap heroin will flood around the world if that happens
