I think it used to be "If the purpose of the war was to get Osama and since they got him already, shouldn't the war be over?" To which I should have merely answered "Yes, it should be over, except we've been lied to, so it isn't."

Of course I do not believe that nuclear war is a trivial matter.
But with respect to (what I infer to be) t walgamuth's hypothesis that India / Pakistan relations are our gov't's reason / justification for continued military presence in Afghanistan; and that both countries are ready to annihilate each other any minute now.
I have to say that I think both of those are unlikely; and that I've seen no information to support either notion.
