We should never have gone into Afghanistan.
Nobody has ever won a war there since the time of Alexander the Great.
We should have just bombed them into oblivion and been done with it. Just let the world know that if you kill 3,000 of our citizens then expect to have 300,000 of your own snuffed out. It’s not like anyone will be upset with us. They hate us to start; they will never be our friends and we don’t want to consider them friends.
I am perfectly OK with the world fearing us. That would be a good thing.
We coulda taken a lesson from the Brits and the Rooskies.
