I agree, BUT.. disregarding sovereignty also opens us up to getting Russia and China and India involved on feelings
Its a Holy mess over there. Warlords and waring tribes. At least Iraq understands governance.
Afghanistan will be a tuff nut to crack, and I have said this from day one. Afghanistan doesnt understand central governance, and tribes align with all kinds. Federalism is the only answer there. India has managed it, So I think its possible,but its so easy in a place like that to whip up hatred between tribes.
I wish Afghanistan luck
