after 9/11 was the attack on the taliban/afganistan the correct thing to do? Some on the left say no and blame the US for aggression there as well as in iraq.

Of course...I am still scratching my head about how we did it. We left the war in Afghanistan to the northern alliance and put our army in iraq. As a result, BL may have got away while we might have had him, and iraq is of course a disaster draining our strength.

Some on the left say no and blame the US for aggression there as well as in iraq.

There are corner cases on both sides. I do agree with the left on iraq...but more in terms of the stupidity and sheer madness of that war.

You'd be hard pressed to find anybody that did. Of course, you will be able to find some, but they were a tiny minority. Given how we promptly screwed that one up, you will find more who think it was a mistake than those who thought that at the time.

Incompetence tends to attract criticism, not praise. Much to Smirk's dismay...
