Reply #55: Because the US has ONLY been in Afghanistan for seven - count 'em - 7 YEARS

[sad sally]

heard today US troops will be there for another FIVE YEARS. Let's see, if a Country has foreign occupiers in it for seven going on 12 years, will it generate good will and peace? Oh, peace wasn't the objective of these wars? The "goal" was to rid one Country of an evil ruler or find weapons of mass destruction, and to catch a lunatic in another or to wage a war the Russians couldn't win in 10 years? And then there's the big continuing "stimulus package" for the always needed war machines - wars are also an easy way to lose track of a couple billion of those dollars. If you're hungry and homeless just find a big bullet you can suck on and an empty bomb box to sleep in. Forgot, wars are also good for the makers of prosthesis and funerals.
yes, this subject - WAR - makes me crazy!
