Agree on the left loon. One can debate the effectiveness of the war in Afghanistan, and if we have the will to stay and fight long enough to change that hideous land, but it isn’t immoral. If we really WOULD make a long term commitment like we made in Korea, we could succeed in Afghanistan.

I’ve been there, and my son leaves for there soon, but a more evil or Godless society can’t be imagined. I don’t think it is worth ‘winning’ there, since it would take a minimum of a generation, but there are reasons to seriously consider it as a matter of defense against the evil of Islam.

I don’t think you’ll be surprised to know I also question his ‘Biblical exegesis’...

The U.S. alliance with Afghan-style narcotraficantes and Pashtun boy-rapers (Link) has tended to take some of the moral sparkle off, in my opinion. That impression has not been inproved by thug Karzai's Iran-loving kleptocracy.

Nor by the impending Russia-to-the Rescue strategic tilt.

Sorry.

I'm real glad my Marine son, back from Iraq, isn't going to Afghanistan.
