Ever see van wilder? Time to realize a bad investment, cut our losses and leave. We could stay for a 1000yrs and never convince them.

Write that down!

If someone stayed in my place, trying to convince me of something, for long enough, I'd vehemently disagree just on principle.

Exactly. We just need to stop getting people killed for them, and our fucked up ideals.

From the time of Hannibal, nobody has won a war against the local Afghani's. The Soviets killed 1 to 2 million Afghanis, displaced another 5 to 10 million, 1/3 of the countries total population, and we all know how that ended. Their warrior culture and terrain make it impossible to win unless you just shoot everything that moves... or go with a nuke.

You have to remember, the only reason the tide turned for the Afghans during the Soviet occupation was because we started giving them munitions, money and training... If the USSR had really comitted and we didn't lend a hand they'd all be part of the Russian Republic of Afghanistan.
But historically, yes, no one has ever conquered the Afghanistan frontier in over 3000 years of recorded history. But we are making headway in that. Because of the conflict over there we have adapted and even indoctrinated our forces in true asymmetric warfare, which as JFK predicted- the future of war will not be against standing uniform armies but will be against smaller more maneuverable and guerrilla forces. Of course this was before we really got heavily involved in Vietnam, and we all know how big of a lesson that was.

Why not Wal-Mart made slaves of most Americans, it should work there too.

[Pancho Villa]

How about we just destroy our enemies with a huge display of force and leave the ruins as a warning to anyone else who wants to finance ideologies that promote attacks against the US and its allies.

We could be out of the whole region within a month and not have to come back.

Oh, wait, I forgot. We're there to help the poor, oppressed people of the mideast breathe free, ie, vote in Islamic republics everywhere so they can do even more harm to us
