I don't see the coalition forces ever bringing democracy to that region. I know they won't (yet, at least) pull out of there cos they don't want to lose face but, their efforts aren't really making that much of a difference.
Apparently there was vote rigging at the Afghan elections and the Taliban are getting stronger all the while.
The place has never been conquered throughout centuries of invasions, do what's the chances of it changing now?
Now there's talk of deploying more troops. Waste of time if you ask me.
What's your thoughts?
