It is a pity Donuel that the Wizard of the Obvious hadn't whispered the obvious in yout ear Donuel that if the US had not turned its back on Afghanistan after the departure of the Soviets then the place would not have disintegrated as it did.

What you did was turn your back, exactly as you did with the Shia in Iraq after Desert Storm, the only thing that saved the Kurds in the North after Desert Storm was the fact that they bordered a NATO Country and it was British Royal Marines Commandos that entered Iraq to form a buffer that prevented Saddam Hussein from slaughtering them.

Now I see with your last post that you want to repeat the same mistakes that you made in 1989. Not unnaturally I come down on the side that would be against you. The international presence in Afghanistan is there at the invitation of the Government such as it is and at the request of the United Nations. That presence is there to improve the lot of the people of Afghanistan after thirty years of conflict.
