I'm glad people do join, it's essential in giving legitimacy to pieces of paper, but I wish that they were not mired in messes of our creation, clearly impossible conflicts, and unscrupulous attempts to secure economic interests.
Afghanistan's legit. The Taliban were definitely pretty bad dudes, and the place was being used as one giant terrorist stomping ground, pretty much. There's absolutely no oil to speak of there, so a war for economic interests it sure as hell ain't.
