The place is in shambles.
Unfortunately, this administration decided to turn their attention, forces and money on Iraq and neglected to complete their mission in Afganistan. Yes we are still there, but with a greater presence perhaps we could have gotten Afganistan more settled before we pulled the bulk of our resources out. Just my opinion.

I agree that we have pulled the plug too soon, but what more could we do to get Afghanistan "up to speed" so to speak. Natural resources, infrastructure, the persistence of drug dealing, etc make it almost impossible to rehab in any short time frame.
