Yep, a year ago today the US-British coalition began bombing Afghanistan to flush out the Taliban and bin Laden. Let's see how things are going: Over 50 people have died, mostly in accidents; Mullah Omar is at large; bin Laden may or may not be alive, and a new government's been put in place. One that's already tried to be destabilized. On top of that, we'll have another war on our hands in no time!

More then 50 people have died. Or you talking about coalition troops? For a year's work, that's not bad: I think twice that number died in the first Iraqi War.

Well, our bombing has killed and injured quite a few people... from oth sides....
How would people re-act if we were isolationists?? Letting China be the 'world cop' as they say???

it'd probably be an improvement. aside from the shocking human rights violations they put on their own people, the Chinese dont rape and pillage nearly as much as the US Government outside their country. i've yet to hear of them randomly bombing civilian targets in the middle east to cover up their government leaders being fellated. is their current leader mad at anyone because his father was a black ops spook who supplied weapons to petty tyrants, and was then betrayed and now has vowed to wipe out daddies enemies one by one in staged wars?

It's not so much a matter of them randomly bombing civilian targets as their armed forces being badly trained and incompetant.
