If anyone wants to know how US involvement in Afghanistan is going to turn out, all they have to do is read the history of Afghanistan.

The place has been occupied by everyone from Alexander the Great to Queen Victoria, from the Boy Scouts to the Soviet Union. Each met with the same degree of success.

There are some places where the folks who live there like things just the way they are. The trick is to contain them. Killing them until just the nice ones are left has its limitations.

Fondest regards,

Why are all the lessons learned written in the blood of our people?; 9:19 PM

Welcome Home! We appreciate your service to our country and her interests abroad. As an American, we all owe you a debt of gratitude.
