I personally don't feel we've achieved any real justice for either of the events. Sure Bin Laden is dead but we did nothing to the country that knowingly harbored him.
I don't feel we've accomplished anything meaningful in Afghanistan and what was done usually came with great additional costs.
We moved the playing ground to Iraq and after a huge investment of lives and money we've lost most of the gains we made.
So many mistakes, so many missed opportunities. About the only thing that really changed is we gave up some of our freedoms and to a large extent made muslims a "protected class."
Swear to god if we fought WWII today kids would be learning Japanese so that they could better understand how the Japanese feel and there would be a German / American Bund in every major city.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
