Once again, I say that as long as the head guy in Kabul is not giving us the finger when we tell him we are going to blow the crap out of the village of Disisbad then that is all that we need. The national anthem of Afghanistan can become a version of an old Olivia Newton-John song, called “Please Mr. Please, Don’t Play B-52.”

The real reason the Left wants to focus on Afghanistan as “the good war” is that if they can get things “fixed forever” there they think they can go back to sleep and use the court system to handle terrorism, the same way they want to use the court system to handle everything.

A “permanent fix” for Afghanistan to them means that they can go back telling airline pilots and their passengers to be totally passive, forget about anything you would call “suspicious activity,” and adopt a “hire the handicapped” approach to security as well as a “They’re just a bunch gooks, who cares” approach to foreign policy.

No matter what happens in Afghanistan, we will never be back to the Left’s imaginary world of 9/10/01, but they think they can get there with enough dead soldiers in the hinterlands.
