Afghanistan = Stalemate/slipping into loss at present

Well.... sorry! It's kinda tough to be world policeman. We tried to completely avoid "foreign entanglements" and it worked for a long time, but then those nasty, fractious ol' Yur-O-Peons pulled us "Over there." We were comin' (often in French farm wives) and we thought we'd solved ever' thing, but then the Huns (who are either at your feet or at your throat) got all antsy again and we had to 'splain to 'em to just stick to making kick ass cars. We'll buy 'em and you can crush the 'talians too. Then after transforming the entire (dismembered) German Nation intoa mercantile class, lordy bee but the dang Commies went crazy on us and even stole our nuclear secrets. So then we contained them for.... y'all said we were impatient, young upstarts... but for half a dang century and then they collapsed (turns out only part way).
Anyway this world policman gig is gittin' old - so WHO ELSE WANTS TO DO IT???
Eh??
And who else do you trust to do it.
Anyway, sorry about all the napalm. We do make mistakes sometimes.
