re: #418 elbruce

I don’t think that Al Qaeda attacked us over resources. I don’t think that the Taliban refused to extradite Al Qaeda because of resources. And I don’t think that we responded as we did because of resources.

Sorry - work intervenes. I agree with all of these, but will point out that:

- Al Qaeda didn’t invade anyone, they carried out a terrorist attack
- The Taliban didn’t invade anyone, at least if you count civil war as non-invasive
- Although I agree that we didn’t originally invade because of resources, I don’t think we’d have stayed as long as we have if that weren’t a consideration.

But who knows. Maybe you’re right and we’re just having trouble getting out (and I honestly mean that in a non-sarc way).
