Well, something had to be done, but it would have been better to go after the perps.
These people would only continue to attack us. The "panic response" you refer to is anything but panic.
"These people" are not Afghanis but Saudis and Egytians. Something, though, had to be done and we had already planned to replace the Taliban, so we chose the convenient response.
I disagree wholeheartedly.
The whole world, and indeed the Afghan people will be much better off without these Nazies.
I realize that the above word is bandied about quite a bit on FR, but I assure you they have earned this description.
It is a government that marches in, subjugates the people of the land, then believes it can launch attacks with impunity against whomever they feel like........all the while putting up feeble protestations as to how our campaign is terrorizing the very people they have tortured beyond belief.
