Poll/story here

It says that things are much better off now than 4 years ago in Afghanistan (which isn't saying much, I suppose). I guess in a country with so many problems, even baby steps forward are a good thing; basically Afghanis and Iraqis are saying that anything is better than what they had before. Even if the reconstruction is 'screwed up', and I don't know that it is, both countries are still much better off after US invasion and occupation. How does that square with the leftists saying that we had no right to invade a foreign country? I think these polls give the invasion legitimacy; if the people think they are better off now than previously, regime change must have been a good thing. Too bad the leftists don't see it that way.

Okay, now i need to practice again.
