No I don't care how many the Taliban kill. We should get the hell out

holding up Hellfire missile parts and blaming us.

Really? You don't care? Wow. That's quite a statement.

I really don't care. Why should I? Sometime you just have to get out
and let these things shake themselves out. Every time we stick our
nose in someone elses civil war we get our nose bloodied until the
American public demands we leave, they finish their war and the world
keeps spinning.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
by John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me, --
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
