    We need a President who's willing to send our troops back to Afghanistan and finish the job. Whatever that job description may entitle because... 'MURICA.

    i wish we would have built our train network when we rebuilt europes so we could have that as an option here

    Afghanistan, what a weird place that seems like it will always be what it is

    what a waste of time, money and human life

    and because of the military industrial complex it will continue to happen with silence from the American people

    Are you thinking we should just pave the whole country?

    Well, it would be worth it if Afghanistan could actually be rebuilt in a positive way for the rest of the world, but that's clearly not a good bet.
    thank you weso1!

    Well, I personally am not going to support nation rebuilding again. Unless we get a miracle in Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess we could though.
    thank you weso1!

    The US Middle Eastern policy is a huge failure, unless that policy is to make oil companies richer while ****ing everyday people. Then it's a rousing success.
