They'll fight, but not for some Nation building 'thingy' that they have no clue about when the exact same pirates are in charge that have been in charge for ages.

Karzai played us like rookies with his persona and bullshit and we bought it.

Look at the culture, see how they interact to get ahead/survive and design something that can help them within their own construct. That should only be in the short term....point 'em in a direction and beat feet home after killing the bad guys.

Having said that, Nation building is for the people of that Nation. Period.

God I hope we have figured that shit out.
