Here's my controversial statement re: Afghanistan.
To hell with them.
We've spent ten years doing our best to help the country; not counting the events of the 80's and the untold billions in aid monies etc. - lives of our men and women sacrificed in a land far from home.
And now, when some prisoners were using Koran copies to write and pass messages, the guards destroyed those Korans in a way accepted by Islam, the populace wants to take out their fury on innocents again - shooting, bombing and otherwise harming those who volunteered to protect and help them?
I say done with them all - completely and totally. Pack everything up, leave by the closest exit and tell them we're not coming back. Make it or fail on your own, since you obviously can't make it with the grownups. Hell, include Pakistan in the same declaration & leave them both to rot.
There's a time to help other countries and a time to take care of our own. They've had their chance.

I know you're not expecting this, but burning in a trash pile is not actually acceptable. For example, The U.S. Flag Code states, "The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferable by burning." After your flag has been burned, the ashes should be buried. If you cannot burn and bury the flag yourself, then there are several organizations that will retire your flag in a proper and respectful ceremony.
While we may not be a bunch of crazy f***ers, who use it as an excuse to go apesh*t, there's no way we can pretend that a trash pile was a good idea. Someone's a dumbass and now Americans will suffer for it. THINK PEOPLE, THINK.
Oh we can't leave now, we have to REBUILD....mutter, mutter.
Meadlowlark - agreed, the trashpile idea wasn't the best, and I wasn't referencing that part. But my overall comment still stands.
Believe me... I wish we'd leave. My son should be there in less than 6 months, with the "conversational skills" to put him waaaay too close to where a mom would like him to be. :(
I'll allow it.
I would rather win, but if we are going to lose, let's lose sooner than later.
