What is their for USA, to win, in Afghanistan?

half the people want to leave now,we cant afford to take a poor country in with us bankrupt. we cant find the enemy,why get our young killed needless. spend the money keep the terror's out of USA at our borders,they have no organized army, If they organized , then nuke their ass.

Afghanistan is a conundrum. Failed states are a haven for terrorism. After the Afghan Soviet war in which the US provided weapons to the Afghans, including sadly Bin Laden, no attention was paid to Afghanistan and it was allowed to become a radical theocracy under the Taliban, and no one really cared. Fast forward to 9/11 and all of the sudden everyone cares. The belief behind Afghanistan is that we can not abandon it as we did after the Soviets pulled out and allow terrorism to fester there. That being said, the Soviet Union could not defeat Afghanistan when they were a nuclear Superpower, and it is starting to appear that the United States is starting to feel the same way. The Afghan Soviet war was one of the factors that led to the bankrupting and fall of the Soviet Union. I agree that the cost has been great, and I feel it has been horribly mismanaged from the beginning. If no major strategy change is coming then I say pull out, on the other hand LBJ always believed if he sent more troops to Vietnam the US would prevail, 55,000 dead Americans and millions of dead Vietnamese later we pulled out without success. It is beginning to sound more and more like that situation.

It is also interesting to consider that. That when one includes the 93 trade center bombing with the the OKC bombing, and the anthrax attacks of 2001, plus the victims of the Unabomber with the casualties of 9/11 a total of 3001 Americans have been killed by terrorist attacks. That sucks but 40,000 people die every year from car wrecks in the US, and 42,000 die because they have no health insurance. Terrorism is horrible, but America faces bigger problems. Well over a trillion dollars spent this decade in the war on terror, and so little to show for it.
