Why would anyone assume a peaceful democratic society would take root in the first place?
Afghanistan is an ancient, barbaric land that has been ruled by naked force wielded by local tribes, smugglers and cliques for hundreds of years.
Afghanistan has never been defeated.
Its tribes consist of ruthless, illiterate fighters, looters, land pirates and drug traffickers.
Why should they suddenly change?
Because we in the West think they should?
Afghanis want no part of Western culture, Western legal systems or Western religious beliefs.
Time to bring the troops home and leave Afghanistan to the Afghans.
It's their land, let them work it out.
