Iraq vs. Afghanistan

While the War in Iraq continues to spark debate and controversy, the War in Afghanistan seems to be "overwhelmingly supported by the American people, the international community and the people of Afghanistan." The two are very contrary situations and the American people appear to have clearly understood and distinguished their differences. The most important factor separating each war is the desire for help. The Afghan people are widely in favor of an international troop presence and reconstruction efforts in their country. U.S. citizens seem to be extremely supportive of funding a war that sees long-term success. With the people of both country in support, the war in Afghanistan undoubtedly sees victory. <http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.disaggregate30nov30,0,7993414.story>
