YES, they're Muslims and they're CRAZY. But its their nation. You don't police the dictators starving citizens in Africa why you policing the Middle East? Oil and Opium. Rich ancient white man gonna get what rich ancient white man wants, at the expense of We the Sheeple.

well to be fair... "retaken" in the sense of, allied forces just up and left... there was nobody to offer contest, a little good timing and I could have been the new afghan emperor.

This is just "since we can't do everything, let's do nothing". Afghanistan being good instead of bad, is good. It only took about 3000 US troops to keep it relatively stable. You're tiptoeing around moral relativism. Some cultures are better than others, some ideas are better than others. The united states was really onto something with the whole "all men are created equal" and liberty and all that jazz. Then some dork stands up and goes "yeah but slavery" as if that makes the idea invalid. No, it's still the best idea there is. You just need to uphold it.

Twenty years and two failed occupations later, Republicans are still advocating endless foreign wars in the name of equality.

Afghanistan is like that kind of ugly person that nobody wants to date because they are insane and kind of ugly and also has no job or money or prospects or interests really, but you think you can change them.
