Then we are fucked, because you can't bargain with religious goat-herders and druglords. You cannot. They have no interest in anything the outside world can offer. They want to be left alone to run their 11th century fiefdom, sell heroin, and kill their own women and homos for sexual misconduct and there's not a goddam thing anyone in the developed world can do about it. You are not turning Afghanistan into Singapore, not in this lifetime. Fix the goddamn ghettos, education, health and economic system in this fucking country first. This bullshit of a slow drip of lost American lives and the flushing of billions of dollars absolutely down the shitter has got to stop already. Not one more wasted life or dollar on this nonsense. I'm for leaving a skeleton crew of NATO soldiers armed to the teeth with predator unmanned drones each with 40 hellfire missiles on board...and at the first sign of any fucking thing suspicious blow it into tiny pieces and return it to the sand from whence it came.
