        This is the true meaning of "American Exceptionalism". Blind confidence in the face of history and our own stupidity.

        Maybe we need to leave, and cut of all immigration from these war lord run countries. Take in those that helped, and end immigration.

        Very true. One can Occupy, but can not Win even after hundred years. History is the witness. Be careful there before stepping in to stay.

        Afghani people might be poor and lack of possibilities, but they are a nation with dignity and pride, they never let anyone rule them
