Do you embrace that idea or abandon it?

I embrace occupying the nation as we should have after the battle with the Soviets was won. They are obviously incapable, in the state they are in, of forming a legitimate government. We have seen what happens when we allow anarchy to decide. It is just like in prison. Might makes right, and all must conform to what the mighty say.

I do not wish to impose our own form of government upon them, but merely a democratic one, where the government TRULY reflects the wishes of ALL Afghan people.

They need help. And the International community can provide it. For their benefit as well as our own, so that we do not have to face a similar regime in the future.

At least you are clear about your desire to have the US rule the world. You think that after an invasion of one country by another failed and the people in the country being invaded fought long enough to make the invaders withdraw, we should then have invaded that country and taken over ourselves? Amazing.

They are obviously incapable, in the state they are in, of forming a legitimate government.

This is the height of liberal/elitist rhetoric. The dumb people of the world cannot decide on their own what a legitimate government is so we will do it for them by force?

Might makes right, and all must conform to what the mighty say.

That describes precisely what you advocate for the US to do.

I do not wish to impose our own form of government upon them, but merely a democratic one,

Duh....that is how our form of government is decribed. You don't want to impose ours, merely ours.

TRULY reflects the wishes of ALL Afghan people.

Most of the world lives under governments that don't allow the wishes of ALL their people or even many of their people. I assume that you advocate attacking them and imposing a "democratic" form of government on them?

They need help. And the International community can provide it.

Hmmm,, kind of a one world government this "international community"?

Son, you have delusions of world domination. We have spent several wars killing people who thought exactly like you.
