Well now that you're done that.... I want to state one reservation I have. Yes I believe in our mission to support a
"failed state" get back on it's feet. And yes it is in our country's best self interest for Afghanistan to be a stable state capable of making it's own independent decisions on what it believes to be in their best interest.
But my reservation is along the time line issue. How long should we stay working towards these goals? How long will NATO countries support there governments spending blood and treasure on these goals? I believe the Taliban has summed this up by saying" NATO has the watches we have the time."
