Yankee, I agree with you. Got to give a strategy time to work before we condemn it. Bombing and killing people is easy. But coming up with a creative way to do a show of force without undue collateral damage is harder.

As far as our objectives -- I don't think we are trying to bring about a democracy in Afghanistan. There is nothing in their history that make me conclude that a strong central government is going to succeed there. I think what we are trying to do is defeat the Taliban (and by extention Al Quida)and train up the Afghan militia fighters. As I understand it, the Afghan people have no historical ties to Al Quida, and were just as unhappy as we were about the Taliban.
