#1 Is Afghan peace, or an ideal of democratic coexistence between taliban and moderates really important to anyone in America except Zalmay Khalilzad ?

If you should withdraw overnight, a surprise pull-out without notice from the fucking place; you'd see even some 'moderate democracy lovers' turn to their true colours. Suddenly things would become clear, but the American taxpayer would be livid.

#2 Why are the tablan elders still breathing?

The CIA etc should have ensured their unfortunate turn of events for all of them.

Of course they're more concerned with overthrowing american democracy, that taliban tyranny.
