It was a nation full of fundamentalist camel-humpers. You can shuffle them around a bit, but you aren't going to change the fact that it is still mostly fundamentalist camel-humpers. Would it be nice if there was freedom and prosperity in Afghanistan? Yeah. Is this an outrage that a Christian is being persecuted - threatened with death even - in a nation we helped? Yes, and Afghanistan's actions here should not be without consequences.
But don't let the revisionists make you forget about the real reason we went there. It wasn't to bring them Starbucks, HBO, or Jesus. It was risk management to shut down terrorist training camps run by OBL, among tending to other threats. And payback.
Also, take a look at a map of the middle east. Look at Iran. Look to its left and its right. What do you see? Iran is just itching to nuke Israel, and they are getting close to being able to. If they had the ability, they'd nuke America as well. Irrational fundamentalists are not held back by classical deterence. A different model needs to be employed.
This has always been about keeping America safe. It has never been about making Iraq or Afganistan a wunderbar paradise. It is done to reduce the risks of another 9/11, or worse.
