That's why we have so many bug-eyed Afghanis?

I don't believe anyone will ever be able to conquer Afghanistan. It
will take an autochthonous government to control that country and
even then, it will be extremely difficult if not impossible.

It is stretching the term to call it a country. Most of that part of
the world is really ****ant little feifdoms, much like Europe after
Rome fell, and the borders on the map a western invention of
convenience. Loyalty is to clan/village/sect, not to nation-state.

so what happens when one of those sects decides to launch attacks on
the US,originating from bases in that "nation"? (and the others resist
our retribution...)

What would YOU do?(as one responsible for US security and defense.)

either some Afghan group takes authority and keeps some control over
them all,or it's a lawless land and anything goes,including "genocide"
when they attack the US from there,or go there to hide from us.

Our problem is that we listen to our whiners,weenies,and politically
correct and give them too much weight.
And lots of OUR people unnecessarily die from doing that.
Israel has pretty much the same problem.

We MUST establish that attacking the US is a REALLY bad idea.
We can be a good friend or a terrible enemy. We can't be both.

Trouble is, big sticks only work well on targets you can identify. �A
shifting nomadic group of bipedal kamikaze weapons, that look and act
just like the indigenous population they sprang from and live among, is
awful hard to draw a bead on.

Aside from the kamikaze part, it reminds me of the VC in Viet Nam. Smile
and work with you by day, attack you when you least expect it.

Yes, that requires different tactics. �Ones leftists have no stomach for.

Sometimes I think that the 1st and 2nd world countries brought it on
themselves, bringing modern arms, comms, �and transport to these 4th
world countries. Too bad we can't just all pull back and let them try to
get out of the 1800s on their own.

Exactly so. You are going to have to learn to mind your own business
& cease interfering.
