We'd rather not soil our attempt at upholding human rights fighting in a country that is not tied to our national security at all.

It's not that we 'hate freedom and democracy,' or that 'we want the US to lose the war,' because both those statements are fucking ridiculous. The truth of the matter is that we know it was a stupid idea in the first place, and don't want to go around torturing people to get intelligence to win a war that produces nothing but the dead bodies of our friends and relatives.

And my dear god, shut the hell up about the one book you read about poor countries being havens for terrorism. No one cares about your 'Gap' philosophies, and we all heard them in Political Science 101.

We can't lose the war, mission accomplished... time to come home.
