Aside from the thesis, which boils my blood, this guy can't argue. He makes the mistake of thinking that heroes (as opposed to casualties) are created by the war they fight in. If anyone dies for their country, they are heroes... be it in a humanitarian aid effort, a World War against evil, or a purely corporate effort to secure resources- they died not for the war, but for their country.
Furthermore, this idiot fails to recognize that wars do not have to be fought on home turf for them to effect our homeland- an AQ filled Astan or a Saddam controlled Iraq both pose threats to US stability. It's the US govts. responsibility to its people to attempt to secure and maintain a better standard of living- they don't have to be fighting against foreign invasion to do it.
Following on from this point, of COURSE the Afghani resistance is legitimate. People can resist all they want- but it's not MORE legitimate than our right to security and stability.
JMO,
Solid
