The US public does not have the stomach for war. We are constantly trying to fight a "nice" war. Once we admit that to ourselves perhaps we will stop getting into these things in the first place.
Until we are prepared as a culture to say this is our enemy and every man woman and child who aids or abets our enemy is also our enemy and thus justifiably could be killed, maimed or harmed; and are willing to accept huge civilian casualties because, well, it's war; we will always have this problem.
So let's stop this. Either decide Afghanistan is going to be occupied territory under complete US control, under US government and paying US taxes, or GTFO and stop this happy horseshit.
