I honestly don't know how I feel, Quantum Windbag. I want the wars to end and our soldiers to come home. I want peace in Afghanistan. I want the Taliban eradicated. If the situation is truely hopeless, I see no point in expending American lives there, postponing the inevitable.
Mostly, I just feel shocked and saddened.
Dont worry kalam or sunniman will be along to dry your tears and alleviate your fears . Nothing bad that happens ever has any justification in Islam ever no matter what.
