one i overlooked was afghanistan...

a) would i support the opposition over the government? that's a hard thing to define in 2001 afghanistan. what was the government? i would have supported some combination of leftists and democrats in alliance against the taliban and other islamist groups.

b) would the bombing help? yes.

c) were the forces on the ground strong enough? yes.

d) was it reasonable to deploy troops? in a fit of stupidity, the russians let us in. it shouldn't have been as easy as it was. 

e) was it in the interests of nato? see, which war are you talking about - the fake war or the real one? nato is there solely due to the region's strategic value. 

afghanistan is in the blurry pile.
