maybe handing morality down from on high doesn't work
What morality?
Allowing training camps for al queda in your country and train their terrorists to spread terror will get you kicked in the teeth? Cause and effect.
Because as far as I know there was no other reason for the invasion.
While we where there we did not allow wholesale enslavement of women and some of the other things jihadist would love to do to people when in charge.
So what of those things do you disagree with, can you enlighten me? Should we have let the terrorists train there? Or should we have let their jihadist laws enslaving women be left on the books while we where there.
the issue goes back much further than the physical invasion. morality has to be cultivated from within. it's not enough just to be right
Sure, but it is not as if nothing was tried once the country was invaded. It was just a quagmire and the power brokers of the country can function under the US or the Taliban.. they don't care about anything but their tribe and their bottom line.
what exactly was tried?
