With the Taliban reportedly advancing toward the Pakistan border and its nukes, reasons are growing for maintaining a presence in Afghanistan. Other reasons are the protection of women, who were dying in childbirth because they could not be attended by male physicians. The photo of the woman being stoned makes as good a case as anything for why we are there. <br /><br />Lastly, there is the heroin that originates Afghanistan's poppy fields.<br /><br />I hate it that we are there. Now that we are, with the government in Pakistan collapsing, our withdrawal would be untimely.TropiGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446899192152298083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-46909898300888686992009-05-05T15:59:00.000-07:002009-05-05T15:59:00.000-07:00All Obama, all the time.

Uhh, do you think he is actually capable of governing? Nothing he has done so far would indicate that he is (capable of governing).

For that matter what are they going to do with Iraq?<br /><br />I believe anybody who thinks we're going to leave the Middle East is whistling dixie. The day we sat foot in Iraq our future was set.<br /><br />I better quit now. I can get on a real rant with this one. Israel is driving me crazy these days.

We got in there because the Taliban provided sanctuary for Bin Laden. We ended that.
