Oh good. I thought I misunderstood him for a minute there. What exactly would the point being of trying to rebuild schools and further the status of women if we're just going to bomb the civilians anyway? Seems like a lot of wasted effort to improve a society that we would just kill down the road.
I should feel ill at the thought of the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not even the least bit surprised anymore.
Perhaps I'm merely a pessimist, but the outlook on this whole mission just seems grim. One year till we pull out and things don't seem like they are where they need to be to function. If in 5 years everything goes back to the way it was all these people will have died for nothing.
