.
so after ranting on the subject just last night, i wake up to the following headlines:
a decade ago, we committed our military might, the lives of thousands of our soldiers, our treasure and our national prestige to the dubious tasks of waging war and nation-building in afghanistan and iraq.
and for what--so that these countries can descend into chaos as soon as we withdraw, leaving their region far less stable than had we done nothing?
if there's a god up there, may he damn to hell the foolish, arrogant men who foisted these follies upon us.

update: i can be a little cranky when i first get up.

Well, I agree with you on this one completely guttermorality.
There is no good reason why this country should be in Afghanistan 9 years after an invasion.
The case for Iraq is even more spurious.
But, keep in mind that GWB had approval ratings above 70 percent at the time and people would have done whatever he wanted.
