re: #261 Big Beautiful Door

And we are still fighting in Afghanistan. However, I feel pretty certain that even if Al Gore or any other plausible person had been President in 2001 besides George Bush, we would’ve assisted the rebels in removing the Taliban who were harboring Al Qaeda.

The topic of this post is about the guy trying to run down protestors with his truck.

This comes from an angry person. And one who is not capable of resolving their anger by other means.

That is what happens to groups too. As you note, regardless of who won the 2000 election, the US was going to get revenge on the government that harboured AQ.

Inevitably we’ve learned that we’re not going to be able to remake Afghanistan into our image, that terrorism will continue regardless of how many hundreds of billions of dollars we spend on wars.
