If however, the central of your remark is about my own remark, i.e., gratuitous censure, allow me to clarify: It is linked and is exclusive to the assumption/judgement call you made

The mistake you and others like you make in analyzing these interventions is that you take stated intentions as true intentions,

... that was what I tried to dispute and only that (plus the cat thinggy.)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, then.

I thought you actually believed that Nato had a mission in Afghanistan which involved bettering the lives of Afghans, and that this mission was something separable from US actual (as opposed to stated) aims.

I just find this hard to believe, that's all. And, if I could believe it, there would by now have been far more direct aid, tens of billions of it, and far less military combat intervention.
