Afghanistan; What to do, What to do?
Imagine you can take yourself back say 450 years. You land on the shore of North America on what will become the colony of Jamestown and the State of Virginia. You are a representative of a country that has no desire for empire but for people to be free like themselves and determine their own fate.Once there you find out the country is huge with many, many, many different groups (tribes) of native people of this country. In general they mostly get along but fight each other from time to time. They have different beliefs (religions) so there is no common denominator. Also, there are many, many different languages.
That matters not to you, the only thing matters is you want them to mirror your life, live free, vote, respect each other and on and on. So you set about doing so. (You may have noticed I have left out coming there to fight one of their "tribes" that we had a real bad disagreement with. That matters but not to this comment.)
So there is a vote and then the people that win set about stealing everything that is not nailed down. Not good so after a while there is another vote scheduled but before that happens it falls apart and the person that is stealing everything that is nailed down is still in power.
Everyone is still fighting each other just as before. The country has not come together in the 8 long years you have tried to help them. In fact, it might be worse. Who really knows but what you know is nothing much has really changed.
So, what do you do, what do you do? You are a member of a very, very powerful country that could if they desired to take over the country lock, stock and barrel in a few weeks. Of course not many people would exist after that but those left would be easy to control. Do you just sit and watch them kill each other and some of your troops at the same time? Or do you just give up and leave and mark it up to "Well we tried"?
What to do, What to do?
