You’re very likely right, he’ll be quickly and quietly shuffled back to the US, where any trial will get bogged own in the intricacies of the legal system. Meanwhile, the Afghani people will see this as just another incident of us protecting our own and riot again, with the predictable injuries and losses of life.

We should just pack it in. There was no winning before this, and there’s no creating of stability after. Next week, month, year, decade in Afghanistan are all going to suck and our continued presence there will be generate nothing but more angst, violence and tears.
