If we were not in Iraq right now, I am convinced that we would be doing more in Africa. This is very difficult. Innoncent people being slaughtered just does not sit well with me. The world is not as big a place as it used to be... events in what seem like a remote place has more of an effect on the world as a whole than it ever has.

And also: Was going into Afghanistan a mistake also? Think back to what was going on when we decided to go into Afghanistan. At that time, was it a mistake? Because if it was, you are one of the very few people in Western Civilization that believed this.

And lastly: I apologize for prodding discussion. I just like to know what people think. It helps me get a better picture of how people feel and I learn something.
Write me down as another who believe it was a mistake.

What the hell good came of it?
