I'll try to make this easier to understand. You previously wrote:

So give me one example how the U.S invasion of Afghanistan favours Alquida?

And later you wrote:

... the only benefit that Alquida seems to have derived from the response to 9/11 is this(by your own admission)

Alquida benefited by inflaming Muslim opinion against the U.S. and against the Arab regimes allied with this same U.S and caused an increase in anti-Americanism and amplified radical Islamic ideology!

That's the only benefit by my own admission? Please show me a direct quote where I say that is the only benefit. (I know that question may sound familiar. Perhaps it is because I asked it in my previous post. I hope that restating my request for a quote makes my question clear enough. Your previous response would seem to indicate that you may not have fully understood the question.)

Regarding my comparison of conflicts, let me repeat what I said:

Remember how successful the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan turned out? How long did that last? Perhaps you should wait to see how the Iraq invasion works out for America. It may turn out to be one of America's greatest strategic blunders.

Your answer suggests that you are again not quite understanding what I am saying.

First, let me supply the answers to those questions. The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan was unsuccessful. It lasted nine years. Now that that's out of the way, I would simply like to ask one additional question that hopefully will clarify the intention of the quote above.

At this point in the Iraq War, would you consider it a success?
