   These people have been fighting for 1,000s of years and it won’t stop now. Just keep them within their borders and let them continue to fight each other. If they get outside the border take ‘em out!!

   Why is every war unwinnable to some people? There’s just something about that kind of attitude that really disappoints me.

   jag72’s idea makes sense, if we can keep ‘em where they can’t do any harm to the rest of the world, but it is kinda mean to leave the decent people already there. And the bad guys will find a way out eventually.

   This is called defeatism. It’s why we lost Vietnam.

   We lost in Vietnam because the war was never fought to win. All they cared about was body counts, they would take a hill Monday retreat Tuesday and retake it 2 weeks later.
   
   It is hard to beat an enemy fighting on their own Turf!
   The rest of the world should send the troops if we are really fighting world terrorism.

   jag72, that’s an amazingly uninformed thing to say. Heartless, too.

   The problem is not that the war isn’t winnable. The problem is what exactly do we win? We don’t want a square inch of Afghanistan, the Afghanis don’t want democracy or anything like it. The main people ready to fight for the country is the Taliban, the rest of the government is corrupt thieves, and the only resource they really have is opium. Cruise missiles, airstrikes and predetor drone were always good enough to destroy the Al-Qaeda training camps. What can we possibly win?

    Badto Thebone, I too am uncertain as to what we’re doing in Afghanistan, but it’s worth noting that the Taliban themselves are far more corrupt than the current Afghani government.

    Despite their pretense of being deeply religious, the Taliban have always been up to their eyeballs in the heroin trade.

    Also, what makes you think the people in Afghanistan don’t want democracy?

    Every war is unwinnable; people that shouldn’t die for a reason that they think they should (or have been convinced they should). The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
