Because Europe recognizes a lost cause when they see one. Change comes from within, not from without.

Afghanistan will always be a "failed state" irrespective of what the US does. Every American life lost in the cause to effect a change in this part of the World is simply wasted. The people who are responsible for American Foreign Policy should listen to people like Andrew Bacevich.

You mean like invading Tibet? Or joining the war in Korea? Yeah, you're probably right. What could they possibly gain from occupying Afghanistan, other than an excellent pipeline for oil.

Why doesn't Europe pick up some of this slack?
I'm so sick of free riding Europeans. The US should cut a deal with the international extremists: feel free to launch terror attacks against anyone except the US.

Do you really think China is as stupid as the U.S. and go into Afghanistan? China owns the U.S. because they don't do stupid things like that.

If America pulls out of Afghanistan, guess who moves in? China.

Stop the wars

Imagine not being able to go to work without first going through several military check points.
Imagine showing up to work, and seeing the vacant desk of a co worker. Then finding out he was killed last night going through the same check point you did, soldiers mistook him for a terrorist.
more troops and staying isnt the answer.
my ideal would be to pull out now, and go back to figiting wars the old way. Defend ourself if attacked, and go after te people who do it.

"surgical strikes" aren't very surgical. The weapons are only as accurate as our intelligence. Who exactly knows who is Al-Qaeda firing a missile from a drone from thousands of miles away. It further insulates the killing, turns it into a video game =S
The explosion radius and shrapnel ARE killing civilians because of "surgical" strikes. To pretend that we are killing only "terrorists" is to deny the laws of physics, the documented evidence and the cruel reality of the US attacks
i agree with stopping foreign aid, starting with israel. they always have thier hand out for money and weapons and never do a damn thing we ask of them....
