Share your thoughts on the US's presence in Afghanistan and the country's relationship with Russia.
America should be there solely to kill bad guys by the numbers.  Furthermore, we should be in a rock solid working relationship with Russia.  Humanitarian work in this part of the world without a lot of muscle to keep the barbarians in line is a waste of resources.  Hence the need for Russia.  This Hole-In-The-Wall is their backyard.  Our presence in Afgan'n is rather like having the Chinese clean up the Wild West in the 1800s.  Are we really this stupid?
