Reply #24: I thought we'd rebuild Afghanistan [View All]

I feel like Pollyanna saying that now. I would never have dreamed we'd abandon Afghanistan the way we have. If I could have imagined it, I'd have never supported invading that country. I thought you have to do the military thing just for the principle of it, but turning others away from terrorism would come from proving that we were a good people and that would happen when we rebuilt Afghanistan. That's what the outpouring from the world meant, that that's the kind of people they thought we really were. Sadly, Bush destroyed all of that and that's the real crime against America and the world.
