Twenty Years and Rotsa Ruck

Where would the South Koreans be If the USA had left 'em high and dry by '73 And can you imagine West Germans' lives If America had cleared out by '75 But 20 years for the Afghans was just too long Who else think the Boomers got it wrong

Hello Gershon ... it's a sad state of affairs all around. While the Afghan citizens will now suffer under these barbarians, they will need to be watched so they don't spread their influence - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

I don't know, gw. I wasn't ever for going into Afghanistan, and I think I'm proven right about my opinion. Those people (literally) want their country to be backward and ruled by their Sharia Law. Let them have it! But, if they threaten any country outside their borders, I say "Bomb 'em!" Yes, this peace-loving man has had it with the Taliban...so "Bomb 'em! with as little collateral damage as possible, but que sera sera, I say!

That's so true, gw. And, any differences we have doesn't diminish my deepest respect for you in the slightest! I like your poetry, too, my friend.

Let's just say that there lies an unbridgeable gulf between us on this topic, and leave it at that.. And, anyway, our discussion won't influence any nation's foreign policy one iota anyway... Smiles, gw
