>>I find it curious how the Left has retrospectively embraced the Afghan campaign. They certainly didn't approve at the time, and cries of humanitarian catastrophe and quagmire flew thick and fast, if my memory serves. Don't bomb Afghanistan back to the stone age, they cried.<< Nadine - Give me a break. Yes, there were SOME protests. They were not widespread, and most liberals did support the war in Afghanistan, just as most of the world did. This was very clear if you were paying attention at the time. You seem to view "The Left" as a mindless horde of zombies shuffling along in lockstep, all sharing a single point of view. Would you have a problem with it if I observed that "The Right" is all too willing to go to war at any time under the slightest pretext? That any questioning of that policy is decried as unpatriotic? I suspect you would. So maybe you could do me the favor of not generalizing about liberals and the Left so much. Or not. By the way, the war in Afghanistan was not about "deterrence" and I would not have supported it if it had been. - Allen
