That is asinine. Why is there greater hope for a serial invader than for Afghanistan? Is there a little cultural bias involved here?

Why are you equating the taleban to afghanistan? They are not afghanistan. They were in control of afghanistan.

. On that line of thinking every country should go to war with every other country for supplying weapons and such or for all other infractions.

Wouldn't that serve the purpose of ending aggressive war? And why do you downplay the crime? Is supplying weapons all the US has done since before the Spanish American War? Can you describe the Spanish American War?

Not sure I follow, or whether you follow me. I do think it is crime, maybe not as big as going to war itself, but a crime nonetheless. That almost all countries do it, deeply disgusts me. Those were just examples I did not want to write a list. I'm not that familiar with the spanish American war. Could you enlighten me as to your point?
