What we should do in Afghanistan is map its mountainous terrain. And supplement that with maps that show its political divisions.
This is the most important information we could have, but we have shown no interest in obtaining it.
Because the decision that should be made first is: should we be there at all?
It has been the graveyard of empires because they have been swallowed up by its hostile terrain and tribal warfare. Country after country (including the USSR) has decided to leave it alone. And it looks like the US is being forced to the same conclusion.
We can leave large parts of the world alone. They do not need us, and we do not need them.
They are not our enemy and not our friends.
