If you don't think it could get any worse in Iraq, then you are just naive. It could be WAY worse than it is now. If you are saying that things at home couldn't be worse right now, that's even sillier.
I am simply saying that if we were to have placed the importance on Afghanistan that we misplaced on Iraq, we would be at least fighting for something related to the people that hurt us. Plus my statement is probably moot anyway because we probably wouldn't have gotten mired in Afghanistan at all, given the relative quick success we had there before getting into the firestorm that is Iraq.
And when I said that it can't get any worse than it is now, I was referring to the leadership of the country. Kind of like when a coach leads the team to a 4-8 finish, even if he is a amiable guy, you need to let someone else take that team from the depths and make it great.
