re: #158 Lidane

Just imagine how things would be now if we’d been warned about war in Afghanistan, or if there were any historical examples to look at before going in.

Oh, shut up! We could have simply smashed the Taliban and then left or bombed the country into oblivion, but not using major force there was not an option back in 2001. 9/11 really did require the Taliban’s ouster, given that they refused to hand over bin Laden. Warning didn’t matter enough to stop, because it was something we really did have to do.
