Too many Americans have fallen for the ruse that Afghanistan has become the "good war" while U.S. troops continue to unjustifiably bomb Afghan villages. Having U.S.forces in Afghanistan is, like in Iraq, never going to win the hearts and minds of the the Afghan people. This appears to be another trap that so many liberals have fallen for.
