re: #104 Dark_Falcon

Thank you. That said, I don’t see Afghanistan as Russia. We already have large numbers of troops there, and the Allies did not have substantial troops in Russia till after the Bolshevik Revolution. I’d also urge against a coup against KArzai. Such acts did not work out well for the Russians there, nor for us in Vietnam.

There is a significant possibility that Karzai may be our biggest problem in Afghanistan. If the polity feel that the government is a mafia, they will support neither the government nor the foreigners. (Us). If it is generally accepted that we are supporting the (bullshit) government, we are targets, and not helping the situation.

Time to rethink the situation, yes?
