No Kidding. I have so many friends on the left and relatives who just shrug their shoulders. Iraq Bad! Afghanistan Good!

well i do think that both wars just don´t make sense, at least any more. neither the country of Iraq nor Afghanistan was a dirrect threat to the US or the “western” world in generall. while i do agree that it was the right decision to engage in afghanistan in the beginning it was all lost as soon “we” started the so called nation building. this just doesn´t works in this part of the world. if we like it or not they do not want to live in a “democracy” nor are they interested in our way of life.

neither the country of Iraq nor Afghanistan was a direct threat to the US

No, they were just harmless little enclaves of playful people just pretending to be building more and more anti-US sentiment.

Saddam would have just backed down and let the inspectors in eventually and the Taliban in place in Afganistan would have just said, "Oh, 9/11 was just a one-time deal..we won't do it again." Right?

Whatever, tell it to the Turks. Haven’t heard squat from them in a while but, my couch with the ottoman looks real nice.
