Unlike Gulf War II, the invasion of Afghanistan was embraced by the overwhelming majority of the world--from Beijing to Moscow to London to Tokyo.

And Dwayne: if theocratic fascists took over my neighborhood, I might well welcome outside force--even if some collateral damage was a given. I know Afghanistan's no paradise now, but I think the invasion was a net positive for Afghans. With more interest and aid, it could've been a bigger positive.
