    Possibly; I think the Afghani organized leaders had a well -thought strategy and the benefit of a different US leader who was ruled by their own fears and very much ruled by passion, in general, and displays they made tell of it.

    Sounds like you are listing your fears. We don’t share them with you. We didn’t chose this fate, but liberation comes at a cost and freedom isn’t free.

    Of course not. Last I checked, I’m still a decent shot with an AR, although my personal firearms are with an elderly relative, because they’re more fragile than me. I do, however, take the view listed in #31, here: https://github.com/nrrb/tao-te-ching/blob/master/Ursula K Le Guin.md , while also being poignantly aware that’s probably a position of considerably more privilege than Afghanis or Iraqis. I won’t shirk an unavoidable battle, but I will always, always seek a peaceful resolution, where possible, for the sake of everyone, including the periferal people of both parties. War is an atrocity that causes horrendous suffering, for all of God’s/Allah’s creation, whether once would consider that literally or figuratively, in my view. A salaam alaikum, my brother or sister. I’ve no quarrel with you, while also urging peace where possible., for the sake of those who will suffer, for it, who do not take up arms.

    • Afghanistan has peace after it was liberated from US occupation. Iraq can achieve peace the same way. I don’t understand why are you trying to threaten us with war, when US troops are already here. No one is following you home, we just demand that you leave.

      There’s nothing for you to offer and we don’t want what you are selling. It is natural for any people to reject military occupation and foreign soldiers on their land.

        I wasn’t threatening war; if you mean the US in general, I understand all too well, and it’s nothing to do with liberation of the people; and that peace seems very constricted, for a great many. Back to reasons, that seems to be very much about resources.

        It is natural for any people to reject military occupation and foreign soldiers on their land.

        I wholly agree, and my comment history shows that.
