Howinthehe!! did we get off the (once polite) debating on the theme of this thread? I'm just disgusted.

Anyway...my take on Afghanistan is that this is the only war we had any business fighting, because they harbored the criminals/terrorists responsible for murdering over 3000 citizens of the world. This war was IMO badly mismanaged, and only now is Obama making an effort to carry it out the way it should have been done 8 (!) years ago.
