Afghanistan debacle

The two front wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without a doubt contributed to America's economic woes! So much of the American taxpayers' dollars were poured in without so much of an accountability. There were so much waste and fraud. No amount of American dollars could possibly change a way of life and ways of governing! It's Utopia! Not even Hollywood would touch the idea! These countries have a long history of tribal feud going back centuries. Tribal groups who are set in their old customs and traditions and for the most part are not the best educated will take the American dollars and go about their business as usual.

In my lifetime and yours, we may never see an iota of a change the way the West envisioned it. Years from now, the blood our soldiers would have dried up and the tribal leaders would still be raising their tribal flags and kicking dust in each other's face!

America should never impose its style of democracy on others! Democracy could never be bought. It's not going to happen! Countries do have internal wars and revolution before getting a taste of democracy! They should be left alone and leave them to chart their own course.
