And your way has worked how well? Seriously, how well? Remember, 7 years of Bush.

What did Bush accomplish in the area in 7 years of non-stop violence? With every military budget he requested, every dollar he wanted, every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine for which he asked?

Got any good ideas for something which will work? Any ideas to calm the area? Why weren't those done? Why didn't Bush honor his committments to Afghanistan to finish the job?

By virtually ignoring Afghanistan to adventure into Iraq, through indiscriminate bombing and strafing, and by ignoring the cultural sensitivities of the peoples in the area the Bush Administration created a guerilla heaven and the means to fund it. Afghanistan is virtually a narco-state, Bush backed Karzai administration corrupt to the core and the people support the insurgency. Not because they necessarily want to, but because they have to.

Pakistan is on the very edge of a civil war. Because of the strengthened Taliban. Because of Bush's policies. Pakistan has missiles and nukes. And the people there don't like the US. Because of Bush's policies.

Remember, it wasn't Afghani, Pak or Iraqi money and people who were responsible for 9-11. It was Saudi's, a fact which is conveniently disregarded.

I know you'll divert all over the place, so all of these are rhetorical questions. You won't answer, can't answer and would just wander all over. After all, America didn't torture, Bush didn't lie and wonderful results were obtained from torturing.
