First, here's an answer to your question and a demonstration as to how to answer simple questions. I'd advise you to read it carefully.

Second, I'm not a pacifist. I am against the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, as has been practiced by US troops. They lack fire discipline, light up everything in sight when a sniper takes after them. In a way one can't blame them. In a way it destroys the mission, which is to win hearts and minds. When all else fails in a imperative cause, war is all that's left. "He tried to kill my daddy" is not a good reason to kill thousands upon thousands of innocent people, is it?

Now, why don't you tell us why Bush did not finish the job in Afghanistan the way he promised the world he would do, thereby taking the pressure off of Pakistan?

Why did he engage in a senseless, illegal and immoral war against Iraq instead of finishing in Afghanistan?

Why, after twice as long as WWII, did Bush leave a corrupt narco-state in Afghanistan for Obama, thereby leading to an unstable Pakistan? Instead of finishing the job? Without the senseless slaughter of innocents?

Now I know you won't, you can't answer these simple questions. Not even after I've shown you how. But, as with your inability to express principles for which America must stand, you could well ignore that which you can't answer.

Or you will go through your repertoire of straw men, ad hominem, switching subjects, black-and-white, either-or catastrophes and whatever else you can think of to avoid responsibility or rational discourse.

That's why we love you. Reliable, consistent, dependable.
