It's not the job of the American government to worry about what's happening in Afghanistan. You invaded, you got rid of the Taliban, thereby doing the Afghan people a world of good; for ten years you (and all of NATO) have tried to destroy them, and it just isn't working. The people of Afghanistan are no safer now than they would be with no troops there, but even if American troops DID aid the Afghan people, the war has gone on for a decade and cost $1 trillion, nothing has really been achieved, the defence budget is overblown and the USA has plenty of problems of its own.

Libya was different. Few people opposed that action, just the fact that Obama didn't get Congress to vote on it (as he should have).
