#1 It is good for Afghanistan in the long run to get strong centralized control of security, and enforce it in the nether regions. In fact, its success is essential not only to the Afghan people but as a good example to other countries and their citizenry (Hello Pakistan, Indonesia, ~~France~~ Columbia, etc).

So far, so good. But (âeverybody I know has a big butâ¦â) the USA must be involved in Afghanistan for a long time to make sure Karzai doesn't turn out to be yet another megalomaniac opportunist, playing the game now, only to feed on his population when focus fades, as we have seen so often in the Middle Least.
