To hopefully bring in business and stability.

On what planet have you lived the past 40+ years...? Why do you think everybody is pulling out?

However, there will be graveyard peace and drug business and brutally enforced stability indeed - the Taliban's.


Lets be clear and stop still having those illusions about Afghanistan that have kept everybody in for 20 years, and before that the Sovjets, and before that the British. The nation building mission is lost, it had no realistic chance from all beginning on. Live with it.
