I won't argue with a QP on freeing the oppressed. I was not aware that freeing the indigenous population was one of our objectives in Afghanistan. Unfortunately I'd been under the impression that that is one of those things that got added to the list later on for PR purposes. Guess I'm just jaded..
In any case, the current administration does not seem to be willing to commit the resources necessary to make sure that Afghanistan becomes a stable state. However, to be fair, I'm not certain all the resources in the world could accomplish that feat.
On a sidenote, I believe 83 French soldiers have been KIA thus far in Afghanistan.
