11. Afghanistan and Iraq are just remakes of the European...
30 years war. Even thinking of that makes one wonder if we'll be out at the end of 30 years.
Both countries are open to full civil war should we pull out...and we are pretty much ineffective now except in local disturbances.
Oh yeah, and the top crop in Afghanistan is still opium. Remember Bush paid the Taliban some 41 million back in about August of 2001 to destroy the crop.
