America is literally letting the terrorist state of Israel commit terrorist atrocities

As far as atrocities, Israel ranks near last in the Middle East.

Ignorance of history, and insanely poor judgment are the only possible explanations.

The Maurya Empire, the various Persian Empires, Alexander, the Mughal Empire, the Rashidun Caliphate, the Mongol hordes, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union all invaded, and any "successful" conquest was difficult, expensive, and short lived.

Afghanistan has always been a land of very hard people. Kipling even includes this in his poem/song. "The Young British Soldier"

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains

An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.

There is no technology to make a people as durable and intractable as the people of Afghanistan. History shows clearly how millennia of living in a harsh landscape that is in the path of every continental invasion has hardened the Afghan people beyond the conquest of people softened by generations of prosperity, comfort, and easy living in an industrialized society with a welfare state.

It is a clear indication of how abysmal is the quality of a Yale education that G W Bush thought the US could ever actually win in Afghanistan.

The Taliban negotiated a deal with the Pakistanis to hand bin Laden over for trial

I remember hearing about it at the time. They offered to hand him over before the bombing started and they offered again after it started. I doubt the American media had much to say about it though.

President George Bush rejected as "non-negotiable" an offer by the Taliban to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden if the United States ended the bombing in Afghanistan.

Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, the president said the bombing would not stop
