I want the Afghan people to live in a free and stable democracy, but considering that we've spent 10 years sending our children over there to try and help them, and they quite obviously don't want our help, excuse me if I don't give a flying rats ass anymore.

Have been there. Have met them. The vast majority of the people that I met (admittedly a skewed representation though) were very grateful for the ISAF intervention and overthrow of the Taliban.
But that is all irrelevant. This is a tragedy where 16 innocent people, mostly women and children, were senselessly murdered. The only thing required to care about that is a just basic human decency.
That said, I suspect (well, hope) that we're all just being trolled in this thread (as other posters have already suggested.)
