Time to Leave Afghanistan

Venerable frontline reporter Michael Yon has come to a conclusion about Afghanistan I reached a few years ago: It's time to leave. We have no clear strategy in sight and quite simply, we're wasting blood and treasure. Our military does not exist to try and transform 7th century backwardness into modern, liberal democracies, particularly without first meting out utter defeat (a la' Japan and Germany during WWII). And if we're not addressing the ideological component at hand--Islamism--we're not truly engaged in the battle.
