The article says the Afhgans think if we take Kandahar and make it a peaceful place
you will have a peaceful Afghanistan.
General Carter says, "I think only time will tell."

Meantime many of the Taliban are hiding their weapons and going
into Pakistan. How long will it be before they come back? We can't stay there
forever.

There will never be a Democracy there as these are a tribal people and
each of the many tribes have their own idea of how they want to live.

I see nothing more to be gained by us at this point.
