The millitary action was some sort of OK, I would have prefered a more precise attempt to capture ALKaida and OBL but OK (more special Forces to capture AlKaida Leaders than bombing the land to shreds). Oh and a mojor fault was in my opinion the use of the "northern alliance", a bunch of fanatics.
Post-War Afganistan is a mess, only Kabul and some other areas a some sort of safe. Those fanatic Warlord rule too much of the rest, the DrugLords also have too much power and the coalition forces are unable to do anything against them. (See the region around Kundus for example, the US was there now the german army moves it, but noone, not the US and certainly not germany, will do anything against the local DrugLords (in kundus that is Fahim Khan the minister of defence, who has his own, private, army))

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
