The war in Afghanistan has become an aimless absurdity.

Thought this was an interesting read, mostly because it isn't from an American viewpoint. Basically says that the war in Afghanistan is pointless because of fundamental problems. Corrupt officials, a government that is practically powerless since it has ties to the very people we're fighting, uncooperative neighbors (Pakistan). Without some sort of drastic change, i don't see this war ever being won.

Oh good, more money and more lives. I also don't see how that will fix a corrupt government.

And if it will, why the hell aren't we using them here in the US?:lol:

Don't worry. We have US soldiers stateside to help quell any corruption or rioting. Coming soon to a year 2009 near you.
 
Of course it was a bad idea from the start... bad idea + bad execution = tons of wasted money and lives...
