No, but that isn't the point. We didn't create Afghanistan either. It is an amalgamation of warring tribes created by a long since departed colonial empire. Just because the Taliban hold the largest swath of territory (roughly one third) is no reason to give then the rest.

Ever heard of the Northern Alliance? They were the ones who helped us and tried to warn us. There is more information about them on my Freeper page.

Tribally, they have far more in common with Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and would make the place more stable if subdivided accordingly. None of these three are model western democracies. But, unlike the Taliban, they have no history of exporting terrorism and, in fact, gave us bases to attack the Taliban.

Almost 20 years in that S@#thole. Enough. Think about it. You could have become a NYC cop and retired , with the time spent there!!!! 2 tactical nukes in the beginning would have solve everything. We would not have lost so many valuable live( on our side). The President should have everyone in country pack up and leave. Leave a small QRF in Iraq... Let the B52s and B2s do the rest, when necessary.
