How is Afghanistan a good example of bombing working? One city in the country is secured and Karzi is called the president of Kabul. I wouldn't say Afghanistan is a good example either, it is the forgotten country in the war on terror. Once Iraq went to hell, Afghanistan was put on the back burner to fend for themselves, even if the US didn't finish what they started there.
