Well it was a U.N. mandate that got the ball rolling. Only one nation and coalition on earth had the reach, materiel, and power to project its will half way across the globe. What we've accomplished is something no other nation on earth could. The British tried the Soviet Union tried. This time we got it together and U.S. and NATO forces went in and with the use of their military were able to fulfill that mandate. Politically it remains unseen if the people of Afghanistan can grab hold and not let go of the opportunity we fought for and gave them. I'm under no illusion that it will somehow be perfect when we leave, it wont. It does however need to be relatively stable enough so that it will not fall back into the anarchy of the 80's and 90's and become a terrorist safe haven. The U.S., E.U. want a stable Afghanistan and Russia needs it.

I guess we'll find out May 1st
