The Afghans drove the Russians out.  The Afghans rape boys, and kill their daughters.

In over 15 years since 9-11-2001 the US plus others, have been unable to "eradicate" the bad guys.

How many lives is it worth to try to bring about change ?? Is it possible, or futile ??

That area has been at war with each other since Moby Dick was a minnow and will be to the end.

We had the bad guys mostly eradicated until Obama took office.

Afghans rape boys and girls.  Marry 8 year olds to 50 yr old men who pimp them out.  They murder any girls who stray.

Its not worth any lives, not the ones that have already been sacrificed nor any future ones.  If they want change they should do it themselves
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.

Time for us to get out of there.

Next-to-nothing there is worth saving.

Let them have at one another, and reduce their surface population.
