That violence was not a very effective attack.

If half a dozen fighters dressed as women have to kill themselves to kill one lowly employee of the US, and kill a dozen bystanders in the process, then they can call that a success, for some rather low standard of success.

   When we leave Afganistan it will resume its status as one of the worlds poorest nations , and I trust that most of the money we gift to them will be hiring soldiers and constructing fortresslike oficial residences.

     But I go along with BHO on this one, waiting on Afganistan to become perfect before we leave would mean never leaving. Killing Osama Bin Laden and devistateing the Al Queda accomplishes most of what we needed and wanted .

   The citizens of Afganistan are not children, we should let them run their own house soon as possible because sooner is enough better than later to make putting up with the diffrence from perfection a good idea.

a few thoughts
since we are not allowed to "really win"
by the "outraged by war" 5th column then yes we should leave
we'll see what happens
if the Taliban return
ya know the guys that allowed the Sept 11 terrorists & Bin Laden train there...
well that's not good
so I suppose we wait a few years until the Taliban allow the same thing to happen
another 9/11
then I suppose people will be "short term" outraged and we'll invade again
then grow weary
and we'll cut and run again

So long as Afghanistan is not a threat to Americans in this country, we have succeeded. No one is going to turn Afghanistan into a democracy, certainly no invading foreign power.

Now is their chance.

Corruption vs Fanatics should not be the only choice they get, but an honest guy will be attacked by the corrupt and the fanatics both.

It is their chance, not our chance. Ten years is as long a term as the US or anyone is likely to spend redfiorming Afghanistan, and only Afghans can actually change Afghanistan.
