Discussing is fine, it's what I am doing. Debating is something different, and it's not what I want to do. Your opinion doesn't interest me at all. If it exists, and is obvious to me, I am here to offer a different point of view.

Whether or not you are interested in my opinion was never the issue. Your opinion, and your willingness (or lack thereof) to elaborate, is. Which you still haven't done, by the way, elaborate, that is.
I was simply trying to figure out why you seem to feel that Afghanistan was better left alone. Sure there has been innocent loss of life. But imagine the lives that have been saved by throwing out the Taliban - they murdered people daily, and made life a living hell for the rest. Can you honestly say that changing such a situation isn't worth the risk? If not, tell that to the Northern Alliance who had been fighting and dying for a better Afghanistan for quite some time before we went in to back them up.
Not to mention the fact that those responsible for murdering 3000+ innocents on US soil were hiding out there. Nothing like pointing out the obvious.
