Iraq yes. Afghanistan apparently not. But this is the good war where we're supposed to fighting, Democrats have been saying. The way I'm proposing is to remove our key incentive for giving two shits about them in the first place: oil. Afghanistan has no oil and oil or no oil, its not in our interest to let AQ have safe haven there again. In our blind attempts to secure oil, we occupy Muslim lands, prop up Kings and Dictators Neither Iraq or Afghanistan have kings or dictators. Those countries now have elected governments. Its liberals who apparently think we'd better off if both were ruled by ruthless dictators. ..the causes of our disagreement with Muslims. Just get off oil and all our enemies will go away. Simplistic thinking.
