Why Afghanistan is lost - ‘The Government Cannot Deliver’
"Personally targeted for assassination by the Taliban, the governor of an Afghan province explains why the militants are regaining power and why Osama bin Laden still hasn’t been captured."
Pakistan, a dictatorship and nuclear proliferator supported by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, is a big cause. The other is the Afghanis - no one has conquered them. Too mean.
And if that's a puzzlement, research what happened to the very few Russians who were captured by Afghanis during their war. It is grim.
