Afghanistan seems to be a very important geostrategic point. I fear there are other reasons the US is there for so long.
- It is a possible transit country for pipe lines - It is rich in various natural recourses - It really confuses me that since US occupation drug production has increased big time there. How is that possible? Really fishy... - They installed a corrupt government - And it is next to Iran
I think humanitarian reasons are not really an issue, so I am not sure if you can call it a "mistake"...
I agree that it was a blunder, but unfortunately it was not a political one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the implications of the statement "There's no nice way to wage a counterinsurgency."
