I've never understood why we couldn't have negotiated with the Taliban over all these years we have been there. I'm glad we are leaving but still very concerned with the unintended consequences of this unilateral action, which considering the fool in charge, was surely not intelligently thought out.

For those of us who were around for Vietnam, the situation in Afghanistan has been eerily similar. No clear understanding of the mission, and no exit strategy for a war that eventually lost support of the American public. The greatest loss has been the deaths of US servicemen and women and the astronomical cost in actual dollars that could have helped so many at home and abroad. Not sure if we have learned anything from all of this, we sure as hell did not learn anything from our experience in Southeast Asia.
But Halliburton's stock holders and Dick Cheney send out a rousing "Thank you" this Christmas eve.
