After Twenty Years of War, What If?

After 20 years of military intervention in Afghanistan we go home.

What if we had never sent our military into a no win situation and tried something like diplomacy, aid, and international cooperation?

I wonder if after 20 years of diplomacy and international cooperation the result would have been better? Who knows. And if not, what if we left with things as they are today, what would the down side be compared to 20 years of war? No casualties? Less dollars wasted?

Maybe non-military intervention could have worked better, but we may never know because the military industrial complex can't make a profit on peaceful solutions.

Peace, Love and Light!
