Wise man once told me, if you are digging a hole and realize at some point you are digging your own grave it's time to stop, climb out and walk away.

We are already using the biggest shovel available and the hole right now is very deep. Both in the cost of lives, money spent, and noble ideology to fix something that has forever been broken (according to Western ((Imperial)) standards).

At some point you have to stop digging. Lest we find that we too have become a victim to the "Land where Empires go to die."

One man in 2000-years "conquered" the Afghan people and he (Alexander) had no intention of staying there.
