Whatever happened to Afghanistan? I know we still have a small contingency of troops over there but nothings really changed there. (There were elections right?)

Think about this, when we invaded Afghanistan we went in with the support of many other counties, we successfully overthrow a hated regime with the aid of Afghan rebels and coalition troops. Afterwords the people went through the streets playing music, watching movies, shaving their beards, women were removing their burk as, etc. And then we abandoned them and went off to fight an ill-fated campaign in Iraq in which none of our previous allies supported and the ones who did are now pulling their troops out. Cheney had it right when they said we would be greeted as liberators, he just got the country wrong.

Why did Bush abandon Afghanistan? Something that if we worked at could have made him go down in history as one the greatest presidents. Now his place in history will be that of blundering moron.
