And we went to Afghanistan. And the economy is being worked on. And North Korea just sits there and does nothing, so it's not really a high priority right now. North Korea is going to take out North Korea.
You obviously know dick about Afghanistan. They've become a narco-economy just like they were prior to the Taliban, when we PAID the Taliban to take care of the druglords in the country. Now, the druglords are back.Quote:

Which is more than they did before we went there. I don't see any other country doing a bit of damn anywhere, so how can you say "oh this should have been a prioirity" when it was for ONLY us and no one else? Can't get much higher than that.
What the hell are you talking about? Look, the point is we did a good thing invading Afghanistan and taking down the Taliban. Anyone would have done that, it was an unavoidable course of action. However, the regime we put in place in the aftermath shouldn't have been a corporate puppet who'll just let the nation fall back into the hands of the druglords and warlords.Quote:

Well EVERYONE else seemed to avoid it.
But at least we had their support then, even if they didn't lend a hand. :(Quote:

Very few. We compromised (and still do) the MAJORITY of the number of troops there. So if it was SOOOOO unavoidable, why were there more Americans than non-Americans?
Hmm..I dunno, maybe it's because we were the ones who were attacked?! I'm sure if we wanted to build a Coalition to invade Afghanistan we would have got a lot more help than we did with Iraq. Can you guess why?Quote:
