Afghan commission picked by UN for some reason |

That should certainly work well. The new government obviously needs to be built on the expertise of political scientists and women's rights lawyers and NGOs, and not on those nasty old politicians and (God help us!) warlords who actually control the countryside. Once the ideology's written up, their guns and ammunition will be rendered impotent. The UN has picked the members... whoch of course means that Afghanistan is fucking doomed. Never in the history of human endevours has there been an organisation with such a talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as the UN. Depends on your definition of "victory," of course. |
