Agree. It seems to me that our diplomatic corp and military should concede that Afganistan is a country in name only. And, thereby work at the tribal level instead. That’s where the real power centers are located, with the tribal leaders...

The US has been in there to protect the poppy and keep the drug trade going. DEA/CIA, money laundering banks, prison companies depend on the drug trade.

“And the only Americans who’ll benefit will be contractors, who love impossible missions that never end.”

Obviously true.
