Going in to Afghanistan troubled no one Really? I must be imagining all the anti-war marches, the cries not to bomb Afghanistan back into the stone age, Noam Chomsky's calm assertion in October 2001 that America was currently committing a genocide of 3 or 4 millions in Afghanistan. My memory must really be playing tricks on me. Sheesh, do you think all your readers have total amnesia? That you can just revise history in this self-serving manner and nobody will notice? The Afghan war was widely opposed by that wide swath of the left who oppose any use of American military power and can notice only the sins of America. They thought our proper response to 9/11 was to ask ourselves 'why do they hate us' and change all our policies, NOT to go to war.
