indeed the problem isn't from a perspective of right or wrong more so a problem with independent nations from other ways of thinking.

I don't understand why the writers of articles such as this avoid talking to MARINES who were actually there on the ground. Holbrooke doesn't know crap and has spent what... a day or two in Marjah (under intense security)? How about talking to the guys who are in the bush day in and day out... dealing with ambushes, IED's, and snipers. Why aren't there more articles detailing the ridiculous "rules of engagement" that are in place, and how it's hampering our efforts in Afghanistan? Instead, we hear pathetic answers from Holbrooke about how it's too early to gauge success. He may be right or wrong, but there will be no success in the future if they keep handling the situation the way that they are now (pretty much forgetting that the operation ever happened).

As a recently released tape strongly hinted, al-Qaeda's strategy is to keep America bogged down in expensive wastes of resources to continue to drag down its economy power and ability to respond to threats. We need to get somewhat ruthless to avoid this trap. Instead of invading a nation which will never be a true ally to us -Afghanistan won't even let citizens convert to Christianity- we should give them a list of 5-10 of their largest cities and tell them to evacuate them all because we're going to flatten one. We then pick one (they can't defend them all) and reduce it to absolute rubble with conventional bombs. We then say, support terrorism against us again and it will be two cities next time.
