Say what one will, the people of Afghanistan are probably the most resilient people on the planet. They have been attacked by, Alexander the Great in 330 BC, Genghis Khan, Timur, Babur, During the nineteenth century, Afghanistan was invaded twice from British India, during the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1838–1842 and again in the Second Anglo-Afghan War of 1878–1880, the Soviet Union, and now America and some NATO countries. And yet they remain undefeated.

Aren't you worried that if we don't make democracy for Afghanistan and nation build it that we will have another 9-11? Wouldn't that be cutting and running before the job is dunning?

But Bush and Obama say we have to make democracy for Afghanistan and help nation build it. They say if we don't make democracy for Afghanistan and nation build it that the Islamic fundamentalists will terrorize us. Bush said if we don't fight em over there we'll have to fight em over here.

It sure sounds a lot like song we heard about Vietnam."

We can never make a democracy for Afghanistan. They have been a loosely connected group of illiterate tribalistic people.

"Wouldn't that be cutting and running before the job is dunning?"
The job can never be done. The real question is, how many more of our troops need to be injured or killed without any resolution.

I dunno. Markel says the only reason we didn't have more 9-11's was because we were occupying Iraq and Afghanistan.
