The way both of those wars were conducted was, as I said, stupid. Afghanistan should have been purely a Special Forces/AF Recon/intelligence operation. Iraq was completely unjustified and bungled from the start.

I'm not saying Al-Qaeda should have been let off the hook after the attacks. I'm saying we spent unreal amounts of money for no legitimate end. Not to mention the massive damage we did to the economy, infrastructure and quality of life in Iraq.
