They have also been our partners in fighting extremists in Iraq for years. Despite not getting official recognition as an independent nation as they really deserve, they have been vastly more effective than the woeful official Iraqi and Afghan governments since our invasion of those countries, both of which have been lucky to ever control even half of what is marked as their territory on a map, even with US aid. That said - this war isn't a foregone conclusion. We also abandoned Poland right after creating it in 1918, it was invaded by the USSR....and Poland won that war. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
