#2 The movie about the Special Forces A Team assigned to Dostums part of the Norther Alliance was a terrific semi=documentary. Dostum was an impressive character in that, and seemed a decent ally. But he is mired in an entire nation stuck in the miasma of fundamentalist Islam playing with tribal mindsets, western technology and the wealth of the drug trade.
Thank you GW Bush for your naive thinking we could fix the place. Lives and treasure have accomplished little in the long run.
