Hmmmm...Yep...that's it. Its official. Pigs are sprouting wings and the sky is turning fuzzy colors. I agreed with Dio in several places and am now agreeing(in a limited way) with G'Kar.
FWIW, I agree that we need to send in humanitarian aid if at all possible to the Afghanis. And the presence of our military isn't helping. That doesn't mean I think we should remove it. But, since we are in large part one(!) of the causes, we should at least pony up and help.
Unfortunately, the only real way to help involves that same military machine. It would most likely require a full scale ground invasion to both protect our soldiers, and to defend those we are helping. All the while exposing those soldiers to terrorist attack. Kind of a catch-22. Tough call.
