If the goal was kicking Taleban and al-Qaida ass, it seems to be going pretty well.
No. It's not going pretty well even in this limited sense and it cannot go well until there is a stable, competent and somewhat legitimate government functioning everywhere in Afghanistan. Plus there is the issue of Pakistan northwest frontier that also requires a stable, competent and somewhat legitimate government functioning over there.
The more of them we kill the happier I will be, and the better a place the world will be.
May be satisfying at a primal level but perfectly useless and counterproductive if doing that spawns more of them and they keep coming back.
Anyway, there cannot be any type of success in the region until Saudi Arabia is dealt with one way or the other. Facts, selfish little bastards. They don't even care about your feelings.
Then maybe maybe an Afghan state, or several ones, will eventually reform. But the more we meddle with their domestic affairs, the smaller is the chance that will happen.
Keeping al-Qaida and the Taliban down is the best we can hope for. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
But the more we meddle with their domestic affairs, the smaller is the chance that will happen.
