It's a serious mine field. For over 1000 years, since the imposition of Islam at swordpoint, Afghans have been taught about the inferiority of the infidel and his rightful place as a servant to the devout (Muslim). The odds of running into people who buy that religious propaganda are a lot higher in Afghanistan, where Muslims are roughly 100 pct of the population than stateside, where Muslims are about 1%. This is why important Afghan officials keep getting assassinated - enemy infiltrators.

#5 lets go a step further than Sherman. Pull out all troops quickly and nuke the shit out of afghanistan and pakiland and be done with the cockroaches.If the first strike don't work try until it's done right. What good is either one of these countries or their ppl besides being assholes at the local convenience store?
