The attack against the US embassy in Kabul lasted 20 hours and in the end four policemen lie dead, 11 civilians lost their lives and among them were three children. Even after we leave, innocents will still die as Islam spreads and sharia becomes the law of the land.
We will have learned nothing about our enemy, and will have left Afghanistan no better off, and maybe a little less than before.
