Via the D&C

Today marks the 2,982nd day of this war, and I think it’s time that we commit our tax dollars and efforts on rebuilding the roads and schools of Rochester, Olean and Elmira instead of on nation-building in Kabul, Kandahar and Herat. Now we are going to continue using our military to prop up Hamid Karzai, who leads a known corrupt government. This is wrong and history shows us what happens when we try to force democracy on a people who do not want it.

There is more of course.  Oh and here is a reminder of some of the things that could go wrong.
