We had truckloads of goodwill with the people of Afghanistan after we helped get rid of the Soviets. We made all kinds of promises and we didn't keep any of them after the war was over.
In spite of this the people still welcomed us when we first came to defeat the Taliban, they had an overall good view of America.
Ten years later it is a very different story, very few Afghan's like the Americans these days. Every time Obama decides to do another drone strike and kills 20 civilians, their whole family (whats left of it) then hates America. This has been going on for far too long, it has become a modern day Vietnam, a political war that the troops aren't allowed to win.
I'm with Ron Paul, we get out the same way we came in, policing the world is not our job.
