Special forces did just that. Then like vietnam, customary conventional military came in to fight a war that isn’t.

At least the British fought properly in Mayasia.


Malaysia? Just guessing. Google doesn't seem to have heard of Mayasia.

I can't answer whether we should be there or not, but if we had been there before 911, there may not have been a 911. That would make it sound like "Hell yes we need to be there", but when you factor in all the lives that have been lost due to us being there, it's not so black and white.


We were there before 9/11.

We left. We sowed some of the seeds of 911 while we were there.

I can't help but think what the same resources put in to education and health care would have done for that country in all this time....

LOL! There are several who are quite impressed with themselves ad nauseum. Just ask them! Same old name calling and bringing nothing to the table while demanding links from only their favorite sources. Boring...
