The NY Post is not exactly an educated source. A sophmore in high school can be more informed. The problem in Afghanistan exists because of the people in Afghanistan and seven year of duping ignorant Americans that Iraq was the source of 9/11 terrorism.
Remember, that region has been in conflict for thousands of years, and only recently, the Russians were booted out of "their" Viet Nam with our help. Yes, the U.S. supported the Taliban and the newly formed Al Queda totally. Just as we supported the Ayatollah after having propped up the Shah for 30 years. Then there's Iraq itself- we supported Hussein in the war against Iraq!

Let's not forget the other bit of treason, courtetsy of Ronald Reagan and pophero Oliver North- we sold the Iranians 1000 missiles- which they promptly supplied to Syria backed Lebanon- and then Syria killed almost 300 American troops. The "right" considers Oliver North a hero- even if he was directly responsible for arming our mortal enemies.

So now, after 9 weeks in office, the NY Post wants to lay the world's faults on Obama's "foreign policy." Bush had 8 years to get it wrong- and 9/11 happened on Bush's watch. If we get attacked within the first 10 months of Obama's term, will the "right" be so generous in forgiving his administration for not stopping an attack? I doubt it.
