#3 Guess we need to make at least ONE more airstrike - on Karzai's noggin. This idiot has outlived his usefulness. If Afghanistan doesn't want to be occupied by a foreign power, it needs to get its act together, starting with Karzai. Maybe we need someone from the Northern Alliance in charge...

Yup, OP. Islam and good governance simply cannot connect.

#6 "The Afghan people "cannot comprehend as to why there is still a need for air power."

Part of your job, Mr. President, is to explain it to them. It shouldn't be that difficult, unless you yourself are unconvinced that the kind of thinking that produces Islamic fascism is something that needs crushing. Or else the "Afghan people" kinda like that thinking and have no intention of changing it. Either way, air strikes ain't gonna let up. We ain't gonna let this monstrosity get past its pupa stage.

And if you're really desperate for an argument to persuade them, you could always mention what happened to the Palestinians' aid when they refused to see reason.
