Why We Fight Redux

This past weekend was the fifth anniversary of the American led invasion of Afghanistan. And in a stunning report from Sarah Chayes; who is one of the few American Journalists to have stayed in Afghanistan for the whole time, comes this story of why we are fighting in Kandahar. Not because of the Taliban, but because American political machinations that failed. It is a tale of Americans undermining the Karzai government for their own ends. Which end up with Canadian troops having to clean up their mess at a cost of our soldiers lives.
