The only path to “victory” in Afghanistan would be to convert them all to Christianity. As long as they remain a majority Muslim country there is no hope for any kind of victory.
For these people going to Hell will be an improvement in their living condition. And that is where most of them are headed.
“The only path to victory in Afghanistan would be to convert them all to Christianity.”
This isn’t doable. However, establishing “Freedom of Religion” where Islam isn’t in control is doable. Conversion to Christianity has to be a personal thing. It cannot be forced. However, an environment where it is safe to be Christian would be a step in the right direction.
