"And why does any sign of progress make you angry?"
Out of context, let's say a relative of mine went into the hospital to have his right leg amputated, and instead the doctor took off the left leg.
And five years later, he's walking very poorly on the leg that should have been amputated, and you ask me "Why does any sign of progress make you angry" because he can still hobble around on a cane?
It doesn't change the fact we NEVER SHOULD HAVE GONE IN THERE using our military resources to bring some God-forsaken country......... democracy!!
