the war is against undefined enemies,
and the numbers of undefined enemies have expanded exponentially across the whole middle-east and north and central Africa.

IMO because the average US citizen is continuously terrified and victimized by these ME terrorists, the terrorists should be given no quarter.

Also, Afghans are little better than cave dwellers, stone age folk who haven't a clue about what it is to be human. To listen to them would be demeaning. It's much better to blame them for their situation.

for the sarcasm impaired:
