Afghanistan: Graveyard of Empires for 3000 years

I am shocked and amazed by the complete absence of vocal opposition to the US occupation of Afghanistan by our armed forces.  As you will recall, the lefties decried the war in Iraq, calling it unwinable  and a unconscionable waste of national treasure and spilled blood of innocents.

Leaving aside the validity of these Iraq anti-war sediments, the silence on the war in Afghanistan is truly deafening.  Accordingly, with the lefties apparently cowed by the Messiah, it falls to me, Ok, and Ralph Peters and me, to demand an end to the ongoing Madness.  Let's be clear here - we will never build a reliable national army or national police force in Afg. because there is NO NATION of AFGHANISTAN.  There are only warring tribes infused by century old blood fueds.

Nonetheless, we can still accomplish our national security objectives w/. a small in-country Delta Force and sufficient number of Predator drones.  Preventing Afg. from again being a safe haven for terrorists does not entail making Afg. a stable 21st Century democracy.  Nor do we need to bomb it back to the Stone Age, it is there already.  We should have learned the Soviet invasion lesson - Afghans live to fight foreigners and exault in dying for this jihadist cause.

War is Peace forever in Afghanistan. So, the right time to leave is definitely now.
