re: #80 Winny Spencer

Was anyone apart from Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan against the excursion into Afghanistan? It was hardly a war waged solely with the purpose of “imposing democracy”.

I’m a liberal and I favored going into Afghanistan to get Bin Laden. After all these years, though, you really have to ask if we’re just wasting our time and money.

Iraq, OTOH, was entirely a war of choice and one that was done to try and force regime change into one we liked better. It’s still not stable there, because we forced the issue and destabilized them first.
