The sad part, onetime2, is that we are allowing Afghanistan to descend once more into a mishmass of regional governorships with only titular ties to the central authority - warlords now control the vast majority of territory.
Afghanistan is once again the world's leading producer of poppies, the crop used to make heroin. The rights of women to live free from islamic fundamentalism extend about as far as the capitol's city limits.
We should have finished what we started in Afghanistan before committing a great percentage of our active duty soldiers and intelligence assets to Iraq, methinks.
