What to do about Afghanistan?

It's been over 8 years since the tragic events of 9-11 took place.

Very quickly we targeted the terrorists(Al-Qaeda) and their sponsors(Taliban) and launched an invasion of Afghanistan. At the time I'm sure most thought it would be a one-sided battle.

But 8 years later, Bin Laden is still hiding in caves sending out his messages. And the Taliban is still in control of large portions of Afghanistan .

In addition to those blackeyes, we now have reports that military leaders are asking for even more troops to be sent, otherwise failure is a real possibility. It seems that not only are we dealing with the dangerous insurgency but also a corrupt government.

Which leads to the all too familiar question of "stay the course" or "cut and run"?

What do you think?

Is this a conflict that is worth fighting for, or should we get out while we can?

P.S. If you can hardly find Afghanistan on a map and think that you don't know much about it, Don't despair. Instead, GO TO THE MOVIES!

Here are my favorite Afghan films:

Charlie Wilson's War - Shows how one congressman helped fund a secret war with Russia.

The Kite Runner - Tells the story of two friends and their war torn country.

After you watch these films, not only will you not be able to say you don't know anything about Afghanistan, you will also be entertained.
