Afghanistan, among other things:

We took the Taliban out of power and showed the world that if you
sponsor terrorism, you run the risk of having the US take out your
little empire, blow up your house, and kill your family.

Well, you're wrong about that. Check out this article, from today's
/Wall Street Journal/, no less, which says:

The Taliban have gained the upper hand in Afghanistan, the top
American commander there said, forcing the U.S. to change its
strategy in the eight-year-old conflict by increasing the number
of troops in heavily populated areas like the volatile southern
city of Kandahar, the insurgency's spiritual home.

So much for American supremacy as ordained by God himself.



That's cuz the taliban are like the viet cong. They pretend to be
innocent townspeople. Then they jump out and kill people and crap.

They are cowards not to fight in the open.

Kind of like the American Revolutionaries?
