Remember Afghanistan?

Probably more jutifiable than the Iraq war, IMO.

There were actually Al Qaeda cells, bases, and training camps in Afghanistan. The Taliban was completely compliant with the terrorist networks. Their vision was one and the same.

Now, you could argue that we scattered a monolithic organization and made a scary franchise out of it, but whatever.

I think the invasion was probably worth it, and in the long run, saved lives. But we were never very serious about cleaning up in Afghanistan. Karzai had to practically come here and beg us a year ago not to give up on Afghanistan. So we passed some bill, promised more money, and here we are.
