    I said that "people in Afghanistan" attacked us, not that "Afghanistan" attacked us. I thought conventional wisdom was that we went to war in Afghanistan because 9/11 was an Al Qaeda operation and AQ was headquartered in Afghanistan, with the knowledge and protection of the Taliban govt. No?

    I'm not necessarily arguing for continued US military involvement in Afghanistan; my point is that there is a really obvious difference between Afghanistan and Iraq, having something to do with the 9/11 thingy. Also, that Shooter is a twit.
