Well, we’re finally getting out of Afghanistan. That’s great news! But I have one question. Why did we go into Afghanistan in the first place? That was 20 YEARS AGO! You might think it was to catch Osama bin Laden. Well, folks, the Taliban offered to turn him over to…
In the forums for our national conversation, there is no earnest discussion of peace and cooperation now … period! I’m not talking lip service or political posturing.
