I agree that there are circumstances in which our military power can help countries throughout the world.  Darfur would be a great example.  Using our military force in Afghanistan is not a bad example either.

I agree that smart weapons are good, but that doesn't change the fact that smart weapons can never be perfect no matter how hard we try.  Bombs are bombs, and innocent bystanders are ubiquitous.  But investing in military technology is not something I am opposed to, although I think we spend way more money on it than we should.

I disagree in regards to Afghanistan. I understand invading Afghanistan was a politically popular response, but I believe it was a strategic error. Anyways, I do not wish to derail this thread.

 

Out of curiousity, how do you believe invading Afghanistan was a strategic error?
