I think most Afghans want to be left alone. They would like the lights to turn on, have enough food to feed their families, see their children grow up safely and go to school.

Is this the key-stone to future foreign policy.
"There are people that do not want to be 1st world. "
The problem is culturally embedded in multi-generations and may not ever change.
These people are happy with their sheep & goats.
But as happy as they think they are,, without a 1st world education, they become pray to the likes of the Taliban.
It becomes a circle,, a merry-go-round,, round-n-round we go. Doomed to repeat the cycle forever..
The world need to accept, respect, develop, and implement COIN, UW, and FID strategies that can co-exist with these traditional 3rd world communities, without the ugly American side of TV's, Air-conditioning, McDonald's, sanitation, education, and Oprah..
I know,, I'm speaking to the Choir,, and we are at the bottom of the policy totem pole,, right next to the cement base,, under the cap rock....
I'm mumbling,, need more coffee...
