And by occupying thier country and slaughtering their families we are simply creating more radical Muslim terrorists hell bent on revenge. Not a particularly smart way to fight a war. But then again internal US politics demands that they maximize the enemy body count while minimizing their own. Most US voters dont hold the lives of Afghan women and kids in as high a value as their own soldiers. And so the occupation and war against the Afghan people becomes a self defeating exercise for USA.
Still, I am sure those aerial shots of Afghan families being blown to bits makes a lot of Americans feel good as they watch the evening news.
