(Heard him say this on news radio while in the car)
We're there for 20yrs.
Why didnt we nation build?!
Did we learn nothing from 'Charlie Wilson's War' in the 1980s?
US help drive the Soviets from Afghanistan thank's to Congressman Charlie Wilson with 1/2 $Billion$ aid from US.
but afterwards, when Charlie asks for a measly $1M to build schools in the aftermath, the US turned its back on Afghanistan.
The result was 9/11 around 15 years .
We nation build in Japan and Germany after WW2.
Why didnt we do it in Afghanistan, especially when we had a true coalition of other nations (unlike Iraq War 2) to help us?
