On US withdrawal from Afghanistan:
. We can have more months like this if we pull out immediately.
Yes, there would be more months like this if we pull out. But then, in the period at the end of those months, there would be more bloodshed.
Whereas if we *don't* pull out immediately, there would be more human life on this Earth. Exactly when that would begin is something best left up to philosophers, but I think it should be clear to all within about 9 months (which incidentally is roughly when the last international troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan under current arrangements), give or take.
The joke itself wasn't stupid. But I was stupid for thinking that you guys would get it. No one commented on how awesome my joke was in that thread, to my eternal shame.
