George Will

I backed Bush on the Iraq invasion.
Primarily, I believed the WMD argument, but also shared the administration's vision of a vibrant, individual rights-based democracy in the Middle East. Such a country would devastate the Jihadis and help bring light to a dark corner of the world.
Afghanistan, after the destruction of the Taliban, has always seemed like much more of a reach. I don't quiver in fear at the "graveyard of empires"
crap about the region, but I am left to wonder: What's the gain?
George Will wants the U.S. to pull troops out. It's a column worth reading.
