Going into Afghanistan in pursuit of Al-Quaida
My memory must be failing. I remember anti-war protests before Afghanistan, pleas not to bomb it into the stone age, anti-war marches. In short, the same knee-jerk anti-war response Iraq got. Now, the Iraq War did generate bigger responses, so history got a little rewrite. Now Afghanistan was okay, the Taliban were odious, going after Al Qaeda was the right thing to do (though just as much the imperialist unilateral invasion of a sovereign country as Iraq, no?). It strengthens the position so you can say, "I'm not for doing nothing, ever" But in reality, that is exactly what you are for. Doing Nothing. Not ever. Every other possibility you raise, Afghanistan, North Korea, are mere excuses for doing nothing NOW.
I have one question: is there any prosecution of the WOT that you actually favor? |
