“The wars being fought today are about protecting the world order in their minds ...”
Paulian conspiracy poppycock. The Afghan war is about the Taliban allowing Al Qeada to operate in Afghan, as a base of operations to plan attack on the Us.
The Iraq involvement, rightly or wrongly was about intelligence showing WMD in Iraq and it’s possible use and spread to terrorist entities.
You are so right about Al Quaeda having a base in Afghanistan because of the Taliban.
But now the Taliban have a base of support in Pakistan that enables them to continue to wage war. Pakistan created the Taliban and sent them in to take over Afghanistan some 20 years ago.
And all that’s done about it is the use of drones to pin prick the enemy base of support.
The Bush-Obama policies have involved policing the situation and maintaining order. That’s what I see going on in Afghanistan right now.
