Michelle Cottle is "royally brassed off" that so many Americans see Afghanistan as not worth fighting:
By allowing itself to become distracted from Afghanistan–not to mention babbling on dishonestly and confusingly about the nonexistent connections between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda–the Bushies have managed to convince much of America that we never should have bothered in the first place. This is outrageous. Afghanistan should have sent a loud, definitive signal to hostile regimes worldwide about the power and commitment of American power. Instead, barely half of this country thinks we’ve done a decent enough job to justify the entire endeavor.
