Reply #122: Some military action is unsupportable while some is understandable [View All]

[DWilliamsamh]

An nuanced view of the world with out flat inflexible statements used to be the way liberals looked at the world. Actions that aren't justified in one instance (invading Iraq) may be justified in another (invading Afghanistan).


I don't agree with Sending more troops to Afghanistan...but not because "all war is wrong." I believe we have no legit partner there and haven't had for years. The recent elections just made that concrete and beyond dispute. That being said I don't think we should with draw from Afghanistan until we capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. Period. Afghanistan is an escape rout that should not be made available by our withdrawal. I am for a laser like focus on Bin Laden. The last president failed to maintain that focus; this one shouldn't. Does that make me "pro-war?"
