#2 Lady It is/was your country... and you and yours have had at least a decade to defend it...

No surprise here after the US and its Allies spent thousands of our countryman's lives and 4.3 Trillion Dollars working with Your Countrymen to give them a Backbone, Army, Air Force, Supplies, Intelligence Organizations and Knowledge to defend you...

#6 "Lost' more like it. I think we largely accomplished what we needed to by '02. Remaining after they had been severely punished was just stupid.

That said we also told them what they needed to know in terms of our will to victory. A husky appetite for revenge is something they could respect. Or, why isn't the scary Tora Bora mountain complex the new Tora Bora Reservoir. THAT would not require translation.
