Come on, even the West themselves have given up the charade and openly admit the elections were all rigged. I can't believe you're still peddling this one... really, wake up.


We gave them democracy Abu, not just a single election. Unless the Muslim extremists get their way, it will be very hard to prevent the people from getting what they want.

It is a good thing to co-op the enemy over to your side of the conflict. The USA did this with the Sunnis in Iraq.

In Afganistan, the Taliban offers the highest paid jobs available to many local men.   If the USA and Afganistan can rebuild the country and the economy, many of the local men would rather work at normal jobs.

Co-opting the enemy is a good strategy. It beats fighting them to the death, like the USA had to do with Japan in World War II.  Then we had to drop 2 atomic bombs to get them to surrender. That way, the USA save millions of Japanese lives from fighting to the death.

But, cCo-opting the enemy is also dangerous, if you are just appeasing the enemy until they stab you in the back.
