I do agree that there is no winning these people over - our cultures are just too different. I also believe in fighting for just causes but we've done wrong here plain and simple. But you're talking about Afghanistan right? You can't possibly be talking about Iraq - since we went there for Weapons of Mass destruction and NOT anything else (oh wait - what are they saying we went there for now?).

Yeah yeah yeah, I know it was faulty intelligence and Kerry voted for the war too. Fair enough - I think that if Kerry were presented the same evidence that GWB was allegedly presented then there’s a more than fair chance we'd be at war now just the same. The thing is and to be fair the comparison should be with Gore in this matter and not Kerry. I think it is highly unlikely that we would have gone to war without the UN with Gore as president that is where I take issue. The fact that we are there virtually alone and without the support of the UN and our other significant Allies is where I have problems with Iraq. Finishing the campaign in Afghanistan is where we should be more than anywhere else NOT in Iraq.
