You want me to just ignore the terror, torture, beatings and killings and starvation of millions of kids and women and men.

I could do that if I was a fucking psychopath!!

<,

This is the first time I've heard about Afghanistan all day. If you and Fox quit talking about it, by the end of Oct., nobody will even remember where it is.

"The occupation of Afghanistan was totally different than the Viet Nam war. People should not be conflating the two things. One was a matter of invading a country because the right wing nutcases wanted to because they were paranoid about the domino effect"

The other was a matter of invading a country because the American nutcases, 90% of us, were pissed about 911. The mission was to get OBL and destroy AQ's infrastructure. It was not nation-building. We should have left 10 years ago.

"We should never have even been in Viet Nam, as the French had invaded their country"
We invaded Afghanistan.So did Alexander the Great, the Brits, and the Russians. Maybe none of us should have been there.
