Thread Name: BS: How to destroy America
Subject: RE: BS: How to destroy America
The goal isn't to stabilize and rebuild Afghanistan (if it was, it would have been done already). The goal is to create a pretext for the US and some other Western countries to build and maintain permanent bases in Afghanistan (and Iraq). That's why they haven't made a credible effort to win hearts and minds, and they've done everything they possibly could to piss off the local populace.
