What's to be done to prevent Afghanistan from reverting to control of Taliban, War Lords, and Opium dealers?

Question

Seems like it will be ripe for bin Laden's return. Is our military too weakened by the misadventures in Iraq to make a difference.

Answer 1

There just has to be a long term commitment to rebuilding and defending Afghanistan until it gets back on its feet.
One thing that we are not doing is trying to find out what kind of Government the Afghanistan people would support. Same is true for Iraq.
I mean, what do Afghan's and Iraqi's consider government to be responsible for aside from security. If the expectation is that what the people want is security, electric power, sewage and traffic patrol, then that is what they need. You can only add what the people will accept and be able to support.
I think Representative Government as we know it and hate it at times is not what the people want or need. What they do want and need is to live in a state that is occupied and controled by their own people, religiously, socially, governmental and so on. The Sunni's and Shite do not want to live in the same country. Also, in Afghanistan, the War Lords I believe may be tribal leaders, and most of the people in the area our by necessity loyal to the nearest tribal community or War Lord Territory.
That is what they want!

Answer 2

There could be connections between same sex marriages, heroin drug traffic from Afghanistan and other countries growing opium poppy, and the spread of communism in Afghanistan by militants. Why did Afghanistanian militants prevent young girls from going to school? Did the militants force the young children to work in the opium poppy crop fields? What would the learned young girls have grown up to do, for instance, to stop the spread of communism in Afghanistan? Were the adult women in Afghanistan opposed to something that the militants were secretly favor of? Were the militants secretly in favor of homosexuality? Was secret favoritism of homosexuality amongst the Afghanistanian militants a way for the militants to make money from heroin because homosexuals became ill from heroin injections and, therefore, needed prescription drugs to tolerate the apparent illness or allergic reactions to heroin? Did the militants trade heroin for prescription drugs used to treat HIV? Does HIV stand for Heroin In Vivo?

Answer 3

It could be done by force, but that would not last. The best hope is to expose the citizens to the freedom much of the rest of the world has and hope they choose to pursue it. Unfortunately, Islam does not encourage freedom, so there is little hope. The best chance we have is to be a shining light for good and hope we draw people to it. A country must choose on its own.

Answer 4

The cia has control of the opium production once again and the citgo pipeline in northern Afghanistan is well protected. So we are good.

Answer 5

Why do anything? Divide and conquer. It should be partitioned, even giving Iran the part related tribes live in. Let the Muzzies fight over it instead of fighting us.

Answer 6

A 20 megaton thermonuclear kaboom should be able to solve ANY problem ANYWHERE in the world.

Answer 7

Nothing. This country is a ****-hole and just like the British we will find that out.

Answer 8

Do you really think the U.S. gives a crap about Afghanistan?
