  4.  @williamwilson5577  The Taliban protected the Al Qaeda leadership and training bases in Afghanistan that isn't equivalent to the Saudi regime. Iraq isn't a consequence of Afghanistan, it is a separate decision, for different reasons, and was in fact detrimental to Afghanistan.

  7.  @williamwilson5577  There is nothing gung ho about war in response to an ally being attacked. Afghanistan has a clear cause, 9/11.

  8.  @williamwilson5577  There are consequences but what they are isn't yet fully apparent and they are entangled with other action (IS being very much an Iraq consequence for example). There is also the fact that US involvement wasn't contingent the UKs participation so consequences of UK involvement is different.

  9.  @yeetjones927  Ukriane isn't an ally, just a friendly country. Equipment and training, sure. Dead soldiers less so.
