The US did NOT bully anyone into going into Afghanistan. In fact, we would be better off doing this alone. Let's look at the past, shall we? At the end of WWII, we took care of the rebuilding in Japan ourselves. At the end of 5 years, Japan had a democracy, a Congress, a Constitution, etc. The country that no one EVER believed could be a democracy is now a strong ally who begs us to buy their good products at a cheap price. On the other hand, in Germany, where the Allies (that's the US, Great Britian, France, and the Soviet Union for all you non-history majors) worked together, it was a mess! It took 6 years for them to just get a Constitution!! And it took another 45 years to clean up the Communist mess there too! The US has always been better off without the UN (there's a REASON why we were never part of the League of Nations pre-WWII) and I say kudos to our government for thumbing their noses at them! We are always taught to not care what other people think of us, this is just that on a larger scale, lol. Anyways, for all you liberals out there, keep bringing it on, and I'll keep knocking ya down!

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
