Won the War, Lost the Peace/Quotes
To put the Afghan war in perspective: In 1983 Reagan invaded Grenada, won the war in about the same time as our initial victory in Afghanistan, purged the permanent government very thoroughly, including numerous “non governmental aid organizations”, installed a new government at bayonet point, and left one month after invading. [...] and the place remains quietly Reaganite forever, without an American soldier in sight. —Losing in Afghanistan by James A. Donald.
