>A Muslim friend told me recently that there are almost a million war widows in Afghanistan. What we see today pales in comparison to the devastation we brought to that country and that region- all for naught.
And yet....when we are pulling out, you've got many Afghan people desperate to get on our planes.
If the Taliban pulled out tomorrow, I rather doubt you'd have people screaming, "Take me with you"
Bush made a huge mistake when he pimped out the bin Laden hunt at Tora Bora. It was one of many mistakes, I agree.
But as for the "all for naught" - remember, no major attacks on U.S. soil after 9/11.
