Perpetually Ungrateful Kuwait - Continues to Screw Our Company and Its Executive

The Only Reason This Kuwaiti Flag Isn’t an Iraqi Flag - Is US Most of the world is neither a friendly nor appreciative place. No matter what we in the United States do to help the rest of the planet - no matter how much for how many countries - we only continue to be hated and reviled. A lot of it is not our fault. Because human nature. Life is high school on steroids. Most people in high school really didn’t like the varsity quarterback. He was athletic. And popular. And dated multiple cheerleaders. Most of the rest of the student body resented him much more than even those who liked him - liked him. The United States - is the world’s high school quarterback. Our economic and military prowess - is going to be resented. The rest of it - is our fault. Because human nature. We do insist on sticking our enormous proboscis into all sorts of things and places - where neither it nor we belong. We have a particular affection for armed invasions - for all the (publicly asserted) right reasons, of course. We are now almost two decades into Afghanistan. Which started righteously - we were attacked on 9/11/2001 by Islamist freaks based out of there. But what should have been at most a six-month endeavor - has dragged on and on and…. With no end in sight. The things we were told prevented us from leaving in Year Three and Year Eight, and Year Twelve, and… - are exactly the same things we are told prevent us from leaving now. With no end in sight. A sad, horrible, horrendous waste of blood, time and treasure - by any rational measure. One of the many follies this Afghani folly’s proponents have incessantly put forward - since even before we invaded - is that our efforts would “win the hearts and minds of the Afghans.” Ummm…they still have not.
