Simple Solution to Afganistan...

Didn't the U.S. already prove in field tests over in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the A-bomb works quite efficiently? So,.... Afghanistan... what's the problem? Doesn't the U.S. still have a couple of old A-bombs laying around? I mean, they're just begging and pleading for for a few more field tests, it would seem. Fire up 'Enola Gay' (no relation to Tyson) and let 'er rip.

I am unclear on the concept of victory in Afghanistan. What does "win" mean?

1. Removal of Taliban from power? Done.
2. Elimination of top leaders of Al-Qaida? Not done, and they don't seem to be there any longer, anyhow.
3. Establishment of western style democracy in a fractionated, tribal, fanatically religious, undereducated country? Dream on.
4. Anything else?

Agree totally.
Had it not been for the Pakistan situation I would say; declare victory and get the hell out.
