Why are the US so intent in meddling in other countries affairs and we get dragged along for the ride. (WW1 and WWII excluded as they are worldwide ramifications that would have affected us.)
History has shown over and over that a population will eventually rise against a Government if they are suppressed and desperate enough. Generally the good outweigh the bad in any society and they will strive to any length to return to a stable and safe environment to raise their children in.
I feel sorry for our soldiers who willingly follow the orders of our Govt because of some treaty, fighting for the rights of others on foreign soil, losing their lives when the final outcome has little or no affect on the country they came from.
I may be naive about the reasons behind our involvement or the history of the country they are fighting in but as Tony said have they been given an impossible task considering the length of time we have been there.
