I would argue that that would be unjust to afghanis living under the taleban, but I doubt I would change your mind, so I think we should leave it at that. Bonnes Nuit! Smile

Not at all. War is tyrrany, and in its aftermath the forceful imposition of the new order. At what point the war really stops and the enforcement of order begins, is hard to identify, but as we can see the result of 20 years of war and occupation was nothing less than the tyrrany of the Taleban. And now we have imposed more tyrrany. Your question is false. Imposing war does not end tyrrany because it is tyrrany.

Tyrrany has not ended in Afghanistan, and nor will it end until we leave.

 Would you try and put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it?
