bob, No one has forgotten the fact that war is brutal. People are losing their lives and limbs everyday. I don't think there is anyone who personally takes pleasure in destroying any life which does not meet his or her criteria... oops.. well there is "one" huh.
We didn't ask for this conflict... most people in Afganistan didn't either. We know that.
I can tell you this... does anyone remember when this all kicked off how the Taliban and Al Qeada were thumbing their nose at the US, saying that we (the US) wouldn't "Dare" set foot in their country... and if we did, we would meet the same fate as the Russians? And that they don't have any respect for supposed "Super Powers" because they beat the Soviets... and they were supposed to be a supper power....
Well, does anyone believe that they have maybe
reconsidered their stance on thet belief!!
...don't mess with us.
