We have lost so much blood and treasure, it is time to completely extricate ourselves from Afghanistan.  We could spend decades there and nothing would change.  There is a tribal and sectarian religious battle going on and the Afghani people need to sort it out amongst themselves.  Afghanistan would love us to stay and build more roads, schools, and police stations, and advance their energy infrastructure.  We must get back to taking care of our own in America.  We need to concentrate on improving the economy and getting everyone back to work.  This has become a massive redistribution of wealth from the pockets of the taxpayers in America to a culture set on remaining in the fifth and sixth century ruled by Islamic shari’ah.  If they will not fight for themselves, let it go back.  We are hated by every Islamic state in the world.  Let them hate us without our money.
