The Afghanistan War: Absurdity or Necessity?

[innerSpaceman]

After I finish dabbing my eyes,



I'd like to point out to Alex that it's politicians who want to walk that fine line of not-being-against-all-wars, likely because its considered to be political suicide.


But many of us in the anti-war movement are, well, ANTI-WAR.


It would be "nice" if we'd had a war I could support as a necessary evil during my lifetime. Of course, I don't mean "nice," but I'd have a hard time being anti-WWII.

But Vietnam, Iraq and now Afghanistan are a series of morally-repugnant quagmires. They have been the only U.S. wars of my 50 years, and they paint a grim, stupid, and soul-sucking picture.
