Americans may find it difficult to comprehend the scope of our undertakings in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but the policy makers are very well aware of the pitfalls. And it is exactly the lacking of a clear post-Saddam vision by the Bush Administration which troubles me deeply. On a superficial level, this criticism may appear partison but let's not forget our previous support for the mujahideen in Afghanistan, with the subsequent fallout of the Taliban and al-Qaida, transcended the Reagan, Bush 1.0, and Clinton Administrations. This worry is beyond politics. It about national interest.

It's the worse scenarios I am concerned with. And of course, a dependent client state would either entail a UN presence to maintain order and peace and American tax payer dollars to support, yet, another leadership structure without necessarily the blessing of the populace.
