Our vaunted representative government barely controls Kabul and controls almost nothing outside Kabul. So when has it been any different? If you go back to "Kim" or earlier, it has always been a place of Warlords and bandits, with a weak Government. If we have the sense to just support Kabul, and take out any concentration of Bad Boys, as we did yesterday, we can keep a lid on it. Only Social Worker types expect us to turn it into Peoria. The Terrorist problem has several parameters. We can control our own borders, and the bad boys are pretty easy to profile. With a good intelligence system and the FBI doing a roundup, we should learn fairly soon how to keep them under control here. The Euros have a much bigger problem if the Terrorists go after them. They have the huge Muslim population the Terrorists can hide in. and much more porous borders. They can kill our occupying troops individually as they are doing now, and in groups with bombs as they have done in the past, but I trust our guys to figure out how to stop this, or at least keep it to a minimum. Hey, no perfect solution! It will be an ongoing problem indefinitely.
