Debt: folks once said that about Viet Nam. We made a mistake in backing Condi and the folks putting Karzai in, just like a few decades of “friendly” crooks and liars in ‘Nam who we supported, and used as an excuse to invade big time in 65, with the blessings of LBJ, and especially the Republicans who saw the resource potential. (like OIL!) Back then when there was better cooperation between the parties, didn’t mean things always worked out for “the better”.
PIOLEMIC DRIVEL! Only dtroutma and Baslim contribute anything. (Actually, everything by George MacDonald Fraser is entertaining, and generaly historically correct.) And don’t forget McArthur’s warning about land wars in Asia.
