I, for one, am deeply saddened the sacrifice of American and Afghan lives in the end resulted in such an unsatisfactory outcome.

I, for one, am glad that the Taliban is no longer in control of Afghanistan and al Qaeda's base of operations was broken. Their ability to plan and execute a terrorist strike against our country has clearly been hampered by our efforts in Afghanistan.

And in the end, Rahman wasn't executed, so I guess we've put down all those nay-sayers who claim there are no happy endings. ;-)

Yep, that's why we are there!

Dream on - you haven't read anything about what the Afghanistan women themselves have said, have you?
