Well isn't that one of the problems I have already stated. We, as in NATO, lack the forces, in order to provide economic and physical security in Afghanistan. Therefore, those forces which are able to provide those two securities in Afghanistan are able to gain influence over the populace. And in the present eyes of the populace, anti-government and Taleban forces appear to be providing a better job then government or NATO forces.
Therefore, in order to provide those two securities would we not need more boots on the ground, and more focus economic aid and revitilization to the populace?
And would you not agree that if we were able to provide the two securities which I have stated that the populace would be more apt to be positively influenced by government and coalition forces?
