i think the US needs to look at the demographics and see whether they can rehabilitate the nation. The US, whether they like it or not has a lot to answer for, for what afghanistan became, and where it is headed.
almost half the population is illiterate, 40% of the population is under 15 years of age, the school life expectancy for males and females is abysmal.
The only thing that can save the place is through implementing education aid programs. If they stuck it out another 15 years, and introduced an education system that worked, we'd at least have more than 50% of the population reading and writing. This would trickle into business and may actually make people want to put down their guns. right now, they have nothing to lose, and a seemingly never-ending war is not going to help either side.
to recap our achievments so far is A'stan - we've toppled a bunch of rag-tags, we set up a corrupt government in its place, and we killed a few terrorists that will only breed further hate.
ASU is kind of on the right path i think. However, what a ticket to Mecca costs is probably what these guys earn in 10 years. using that money to provide training to start businesses i think would be a better idea. having something to work for in order to run their businesses and keep their families fed would probably work. The only question is. how can this be implemented without a military presence?
