I believe in fighting terrorism and protecting United States Security. These things were being accomplished in Afghanistan at a very low cost to NATO countries. Having troops on the ground, a friendly government in Kabul, was vital to having good intelligence on Al Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban terrorist element. NO, ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, CAN DEFEND HANDING AFGHANISTAN BACK TO THE TALIBAN, A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, AND CLAIM THAT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE TERRORIST THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. To lose a friendly government, military force, as well as a place for your own military to gather intelligence on terrorist groups in Afghanistan, is beyond foolish!
The Forever War created more terrorists than it killed.
Before the Forever War, the Terrorists were limited to Afghanistan.
Now they pretty much run amok in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Allah knows where else.
Here's a concept I want you to get your tiny little brain around....
One Man's Terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
When the Taliban (Muhajadin) and Bin Laden were fighting the Russians, Ronald Reagan called them Freedom Fighters. Of course, they hated western ways and feminism and modernity, but we called them Freedom fighters when they were tweaking the noses of people we didn't like.
Then these same assholes turned on us, and they became "Terrorists"...
To the Average Afghan, the Taliban aren't terrorists, they are freedom fighters that fought against the Russians and Americans.
Hey, funny thing, you never see the "Terrorists" attacking Japan. Why is that? Oh, yeah, Japan minds it's own fucking business
Let's start doing that for a change.
