HAHAHA
Ok lets assume that is somehow true. Was it really feasible in the minds of our military leaders, who i respect the hell out of, to believe we could assert democracy on these people?

Something to be said for benign Nationalizm. ( If you have leaders of honesty and good character, (moral and otherwise). It seems we haven't seen that in a long time. With out truth the honest man has no defense against the dishonest man. Pretty evident huh !! |

Afghanistan is known as "The place empires go to die", for good reason. If any of the idiots in charge ever bothered to study their enemy, (like the CCP is doing) and history, we would have never set foot in that god forsaken place. |
