Dozer523,
Excellent post, and your main point (I think) about imposing a central government in a country that for millennia has rejected the concept is spot on.
I wonder if we haven’t lost track of the mission in Afghanistan, which I understand was to hunt down and kill Al Quida (and by extension those that support them). We can get into another thread discussing McChrystal's COIN plan and if, and when, it would accomplish our mission.
Your point about Karzai is also correct –“he has to live there after we leave”
In any case, delay in protecting our current force in the AO is unacceptable. If your “hand picked” commander on the ground says he needs additional troops it’s time to fish, or cut bait. Doing nothing is “dithering”.
