#1 Ok, it's now official: Afghanistan is a nation run by drug lords, just as Bolivia is. I don't doubt that Karzai is the kingpin. It's time for the US to stop "nation-building" and start stomping all the enemies, including those in the Afghanistani government. This is the second time in six years we've created a local government far too quickly, and with far too little control over the process (Iraq is the other, but they seem to be sorting themselves out).

The main problem are the Pashtuns. The only way that problem can be "solved" is to reunite the Pashtuns from both sides of the border, and then sit on them HARD for a few years until they learn to behave themselves. None of the political "leadership" in the United States OR Europe has the stomach for that, so the problem will continue to exist until it gets so blatant the only solution is the elimination of the Pashtuns.
