>> my point... My point was just what I said - our policy was shaped by the Domino Principle and Cold War politics all around the globe just as South and Central American, China, Korea and Vietnam were extensions of the Monroe Doctrine and previous imperialistic tendencies - different people, more recent, but same issues. 1911A1 pistol was invented to bring democracy to people who were really going to get what I'd consider egalitarian policy. Afghanistan has its own arc and it is sad - but no sadder than our other eff-ups in that or other regions where we disrupted the natural order - were left exposed and foundering - and then left behind a situation not appreciably better.
