I want us (UK) to pull out right away. The country is unfixable however long we stay because the culture is such that democratic institutions don't last and human rights aren't held to be universal when they conflict with religion, and tribal mentality is still strong.

We should come back in 50 years when they've achieved this themselves; I doubt democracy could have been imposed on the UK 200 years ago (culture wasn't ready).


Oh, it could of been done.  The problem was they went with the "easy way".

They made deals with Karzai and the Warlords... and made a temporary leader who was corrupt and wouldn't of won an election in the first place.
