The goal should be to break up both countries into the tiny bits of their ethnic/religious/linguistic factions. They are far more manageable when they are fighting each other. Get Americans out of Af-Pak

By all means do not let any of these people into the USA.

The goal should be to utilize obama’s green energy philosophy and turn the whole country into a green area. Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow.

What happened to the surge in Afghanistan? Wasn’t the goal to get things under control like after the surge in Iraq? (I am aware of the current Iraq shortcoming, I am talking post surge time frame)

For years I have been thinking the same thing. Set up several hundred feudal states, arm them all to the teeth, sit back and enjoy the show.

The hundreds of feudal warlords would refuse to give up their power, each would seek out more and the whole region could happily go back to the 14th century, or last week, whichever is more primitive.

I believe that the initial invasion of Iraq was an appropriate use of defensive and retaliatory force. Are you saying that you disagree?

Nope.

Although I would have done it differently, both in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Flatten the infrastructure
Kill the leaders
Break the countries up on ethnic lines
Set the ethnic groups at each other's throats
Walk away

The message is pretty clear, F with us, and you personally will die, we will destroy all you hold dear, and your country will simply cease to exist.

Nation building? *spit*

I missed By all means do not let any of these people into the USA, good catch.
