Probably time to stop funds and bring the troops home.

Why should Afghanistan be grateful to the U.S.?

We have not helped them. We have invaded them.

Yes, Afghanistan was a much better place pre-2001 . . . .

Also, how about the fact that the only reason Karzai is in power/still in power/still alive is because of the United States?

Unless memory fails me 1980 also was before 2001,...

Thanks.

In terms of American actions that I find problematic, invading Afghanistan is nowhere near the top of the list.

It is certainly the most justified military action the United States has taken since WWII.
