Why must people bring up ignorance on a war that has nothing to do with this? By the way, what is your definition of "nowhere"? Free elections, education for all (females too), etc is nowhere? Keep your politics in political discussions and not in car forums.

The war is basically a money pit. I apologize for bringing politics yet again into this discussion but billions and possibly trillions of dollars are being wasted on a war that shouldn't have been authorized to begin with. This is money that could have been used to fund projects for alternative fuels and battery development here and instead its going to a war that is basically at a stand still at the moment. I'll admit some positive things have been done but for the most part its becoming one big money pit
