Quote by: Prax We're at a critical point in Afghanistan, not just by their support but by our country's support as well..... and if we blow it now with the reckless disregard mentioned above, then it will turn just like Iraq, and we'll all be screwed..... and if it goes like Iraq..... it'd all be for nothing.
Our troops and other NATO troops do see exactly what's going on in Iraq, and none of them want that where they are now.... it's at a borderline controllable state right now.... but all that is needed to unbalance it, is for the Afghan people to turn their opinions of us to something more worse.... |
I've said it before: The critical point is long past. The West had its chance in Afghanistan (5 years ago) and blew it. Now there's mutual disenchantment. So, time to leave.
That's if you look at things purely in terms of "nation-building". But of course there's also oil...
