Afgahnistan is lost ??? What a news flash ! Does Kharzaid and/or the Taliban know that yet ??
Iraq COULD be another loss if it depended on the likes of you to fight it. In 1942, America had lost Pearl Harbor; the entire Phillipines; Wake Island. England had lost Singapore and Rommel was marching across Africa. YOU would have said...."the war is lost".
No, War aint great (I've been there; have you?); but Defeatism is much much worse.

Indep Geo,
You really must do some reading.
1) Yes, Kennedy sent advisors, Johnson escalated Viet Nam. Nixon perpetuated it. Carpet bombed Hanoi, invaded Cambodia...geesh...read up.
It's not for me to inform you of history.
2) Current events: Osama Bin Laden has yet to be captured. Two districts closest to Kabul are again controlled by the Taliban. The opium crop is the biggest ever. And Kharzai can't leave his capital city to venture into his country...sounds like a victory to me!
3) Iraq is in a state of civil war. 80% of Iraquis want the US out. Seems to me that instead of creating fewer terrorists, current policies have created many more. Oh! right...we've found the wmd's right?
