Somebody help me understand. I've argued for years that we need to stay to protect those who would be lost, keep the schools going, that educating the women is the key, all the stuff we know from reading Three Cups of Tea.

I remember how heartbroken my father was watching the fall of Saigon on the news, as he had just been home from Vietnam a short while, and that war cost him personally so dearly. That our country would walk away after so many lives had been lost on all sides was to him an unthinkable waste of life. I often wonder what he would think about this current conflict- or should I say, these conflicts.
