   A war is fought to win or lose, Afghanistan was a political negotiation.   
      
   NO ONE DESTROYED AFGHANISTAN... so there was no victory.  The   
   negotiation was a failure as we didn't get what we wanted.   
      
   The politicians failed America, because they're stupid and have weak   
   characters.   
      
   This is what you voted for, for the last 20 years, and now you get to   
   see who they really were.   
      
   Anyone who voted for or will still vote for an INCUMBENT and to NOT fire   
   the BUREAUCRATS is getting the FAILURE they've been voting for.

   That's karma   
      
      
   Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those   
   you hate.   
      
   Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help   
   force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.   
      
   Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's   
   illegally forced on American citizens. TWITTER'S censorship is enslaving   
   Blacks.   
      
   Censorship of this document in whole or part, is an admission of your   
   belonging to a VIOLENT HATE GROUP.
