Our money would have been better spent on education in the region, but that wouldn't have profited our military industrial complex. Religious fanaticism all over, no matter the flavor of bullshit a stupid antiquated hat is hung, stunts our collective progress for the benefit of a few.
We're all to blame to some extent, some much more than others. Seems like there are a lot of people who were all for these wars who are now complaining about the inevitable outcome in an effort to cleanse themselves. Same halfwits that yelled at Sikhs tending a gas station 20 years ago bemoan the future of the 'poor afghans' today. The only stain on my conscience are my tax dollars contributing to such nefarious means. Hopefully dollars previously allocated to the war machine can be redirected to the hundreds of poor hungry kids I see in my neighborhood everyday.
