Actually not. There was a reason to get rid of the gov't, which was accomplished with almost no troops on the ground. Any further commitment is another Vietnam, as you can plainly see by the results. Fools NEVER learn from history. # 11 Mr. Fusion said, “There was a reason for us to go into Afghanistan.”
