We can abandon Afghanistan and it can revert to being an Islamist police state run by the Taliban. It can return to being a safe haven for those who want to destroy America, exterminate the Jewish race, and create a world in which marrying children and mutilating womens genitals are the norm.
War is indeed hell not that Im in any way qualified to make that judgment. (Read Karen Northon to get a more informed view. Patriotic heroes like Leo Thorsness also have a thing or two to say on the matter.) But which is worse: war or a totalitarian police state? Which was worse in the 60s and 70s: the Vietnam war or the Communist police state which followed? Which is worse today: the Afghanistan War or an Islamist police state?
Heres the confrontation that needs to be had. Moore and other so-called progressives consider conservatives to be greedy. The Left thinks we should withdraw our troops from Afghanistan and Iraq and then spend that money on universal healthcare and federal jobs programs. To do otherwise is to be greedy.
The practical result of this would be Islamists being empowered. More women would be shoved into forced marriages, their faces mutilated with acid, and their lives spent hidden in burqas. More gays would be executed for being gay. An ideology bent on world domination would be further empowered. And why would this happen? Because progressives want government to give them money and make their lives easier.
And conservatives are the greedy ones? How does that work?

I really dont care how they live. They have had plenty chances to change.
Just keep your issues, your issues.
I can’t wait for that fat slob to have a heart attack, then we can see if he goes to Cuba for treatment or not.

ALL that already exists and continues to exist there. We have not solved anything in Afghanistan because we no longer fight wars, we do police action and peace keeping and military operations and other such nonsense. If we fought in Iran and Afghanistan like we did in Europe and the Pacific during WW2 the muslim threat would have been eradicated a couple of years ago...
Moore wants to make money........a lot of money.
Case closed.
They’re trying to change. Letting the Taliban back in betrays all the people who trusted us and throws all those women right back into slavery.
Yeah, those little girls had plenty of chances to change their wicked ways. If they get stoned or have their genitals mutilated by some Talibani madmen, that’s their problem. It’s not like those guys are going to come over here any fly planes into our buildings or anything anyway.
who cares what Michael Moron says? I sure don’t, he is a big fat idiot! Make him a sandwich and tell him to go back to bed to watch cartoons!
I think it horrible how they treat their people. I really do.
But, and this is a big but, that is not our problem as a nation. Who are we to go around and tell people how to behave. What gives us the right to tell another nation what they should do with their own country?
Yes, I think we are better. But this BS of “sending democracy” over there is nothing but empire building.” And, it will be the end of our strength as a nation.
I know its harsh, but we cannot solve the problems of the world at the end of a rifle. That is not what our troops are for. Get Al Queda and get out.
Because it wouldn’t be a Christian or Jewish state. It would be a state that hates Christians and Jews.
(The left hates Christians and Jews, and so do the jihadis)
Thank you.
My heart breaks for the girls and women of Sharia nations and the left is about to magnify ten-fold the suffering they endure.
Get them all? How will we know when we've accomplsihed that?
The problem is ISLAM and Afghanistan is a constitutional Islamic state. Until they have a separation of Mosque and State we should not be wasting blood and treasure there.
When they stop moving.
OK, that was sarcastic.
I guess my point is that we should step back and ask ourselves why we are there. It is to stop the folks from setting up terror training camps and attacking us. The way to do that is to blow them up when we see they are being set up.
It is not to try to take over the country and turn them into good little Americans. Anyone who thinks we can do that in this part of the world is ignorant of the history of the region.’
There is no simple answer. I would send my children to fight a war against those who want to kill us. The Taliban, horrible as they were, were not the ones trying to kills us. They were too busy eating their own.
If my wife looked like his I might jump at the chance to throw a burkha over her too.
