Then we have to agree to disagree. I see us in the same place as the USSR ended upi being in if we stay in Afghanistan. Terrorism and the hunt for terrorists should be the work of specially trained forces that involves detective work like that which was done in Germany and other places to thwart terrorism.
I think we need to work with the international community to bring Pakistan around to help with terrorism and their border.
The attack on our soil was planned in an apartment in Germany. What is our reason for staying in Afghanistan that leads you to believe it is the least worst option?
