Why should I care what happens in Afghanistan?

We spend $10 billion a month, thousands of our soldiers have been killed, even more have been wounded and most of the people in the country want us to leave. The cling to tribal ways, reject democracy, and harbor bat shit crazy religious fanatics. As far as I can see, the only reason to stay in the country is to provide security for a oil pipe line. Other than that they country is useless and the people don’t want democracy.

I think we should declare victory because we saved them from the Taliban nut cases, pack up our weapons and leave. I frankly don’t care if they revert to their stone age ways but think that we should offer immigration to the advanced citizens who want to experience democracy. Other than that, we have no reason or goal for this brutal, backward, uncivilized waste of space.

If we want to spend $10 billion a month, then spend it on the war criminals, and mercenaries that took advantage of all of that American money. It makes no sense to develop that wasteland and lay off teachers and raise college tuition in this country.

The almost country of Afghanistan bankrupted the USSR and is doing the same to us. Why can’t we learn from history and stop sacrificing American youth to save those degenerate people.
