Re: Gen. McChrystal - should he be fired?
At this point I don't consider it a war, but an occupation of a foreign country. To step back though, the decision to invade Afghanistan was right considering the Taliban was allowing Al-Qaeda to use the country as a base of operations for 9/11 and terrorism. With Al-Qaeda leaving for Pakistan it would logically make sense to follow Al-Qaeda and put pressure on Pakistan to find them. However, we made enemies with the Taliban and continue to fight them in their country.
We controversially allowed a Taliban government before 9/11 and President Karzai appears to be open to allow the Taliban to be part of the government now. Therefore, I say work with the Taliban and Karzai to create a coalition government and bring the troops home and continue to work with Pakistan to find Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden.Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake - Napoleon BonaparteComment

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

Don't forget that Korea is still divided and wasn't resolved and it's been 1950 as well.Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake - Napoleon BonaparteComment
