I note with interest your use of the leftist trope that we only went to war in Afghanistan to install a puppet government, ahem, a "government to our liking."
More evidence that the palaeos like to hold hands with the Black Bloc.
I never said that was the only reason we went to war. I supported the war in Afghanistan (as did Buchanan) because the Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden after 9/11.
We'd be fools to go to war in another country and not end up with a government to our liking. Unfortunately, as events like this show, importing "democracy" to the Mideast is a fool's errand, since the people likely to win elections are likely to do things we don't like, such as recognizing Islam as the source of law, as has been done in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
