"It seems like you're thinking that it's 'mission accomplished.' What have we done in Afghanistan that 'Russia couldn't do in ten years?' Who do you think still runs that country? What do you think will happen when we leave? We will have been no more successful than Russia when all is said and done.
And seriously, is getting Iraq to 'surrender' really a big feat? It took 3 days in 1991. We could get most countries to surrender in short order. That doesn't mean it was a wise decision.

Answer to 1st question--we defeated Taliban--set up voting democracy--and I think maybe t6he 6 million + people voting might be running the country especially since women are now voting-holding office and going to school. Can tell you what will happen after we leave--but do like current situation a lot better than when last admin was in power--and you.
Question @. Your comparing apples to oranges--one was liberation of Kuwait other all out war disposing dictator--and I question your 3 day timeline--
