US is at war with itself.
yes right now US is at war with itself, no doubt. but i think attacking afghanistan, prolonging their stay, increase in troops, spending huge amounts of money and losing their or allied forces soldiers points to some bigger incentive. dont you think?
may be this is only place in the world where 4 nuclear powers are joining borders and by sitting here they can keep an eye on china, russia, pakistan and india (especially china, emerging super power). moreover, they can also keep an eye on iran another islamic country (which can be the second islamic country to go nuclear capable). this all can be my imagination because i do not have any prove of it but if you see a map of US and indian airforce bases (this map is present somewhere in this forum, in the airforce section, made by one of our members) you can easily see the resaon of US sitting here.
they can easily surround Pakistan and iran by keeping their bases in afghanistan and with the help of india bases and do not forget they have some bases in kuwait and they can use help from their aircraft carriers by keeping them somewhere in the india ocean as well. on the other hand they have japan, south korea, india (recent ally, may be not as strong as the first two) which are their allies and with strong defence force and can keep a pressure on china as well.
as i have siad before this can be my imagination and i hope it is. but my opinion is that US is in afghanistan and is there to stay.
this does not mean that i do not trust my country s defence capabilities and i know US will think twice before doing something foolish but right now i think they are preparing for a bigger chess game then it looks like.

sincerely
