I didn't have a problem going into Afghanistan. I had alarm bells going off in my head before going into Iraq but I didn't say shit. that's not going to happen again.
The "good war" is always an alarm bell for me, the real losers are always civilians, and what America did in Afghanistan and Iraq dwarfs what's going on in Gaza now.
