What ever happened to those who, right after 9-11 were screaming that, of course our Country was attacked by terrorists trained in Afghanistan, we helped them repell the Soviets in the 80's, then just walked out on them and left them on their own? These people ,if they would speak up now, could be of trememdous value in supporting the policy of staying to rebuild Iraq after kicking Sadaam Hussein out.
A cynic might say they are the same people who oppose our rebuilding of Iraq. Their logic would be "whatever the US does is wrong". To paraphrase Stephen Decatur-My Country, always wrong.
If some of these people who claimed to be Hawks on rebuilding Afghanistan in the 80's don't make themselves heard soon, I will have to assume the cynics are right.
