what exactly do you expect? they removied the fundamentalist oppressive government there, at least the police arent just shooting people in the streets and leaving them for dead anymore, terrorist bomb attacks have slowly died off, there has always been fighting in the outlying areas, youre not going to get a bunch of waring tribes to come to the table and negociate, but the cities, are now moving towards something much better than they were, and weve got thousands of reservice on the ground there acting as social workers, and using their american professional skills to build an economy and an educational system that has basically never existed there.. eventually the tribes will kill each other off, or just give up, because the cities are protected by US troops, i agree it could be happening faster, but expecting a country that has been torn by war for 50 years to just all the sudden snap into place, is ridiculous.the poppy field thing is agreeably retarded. the government has decided to turn a blind eye to that in exchange for peace, and while its working in those areas, theyre providing something like, 90% of the worlds heroin..
but hey, im a libertarian and believe in personal responsibility. you dont HAVE to do heroin..
goodtimes.
