I cannot. All I can do is speculate as to "our objective." I think O is trying to prevent the resurgence of the Taliban, which allowed Al Queda to freely operate in the country, in favor of a regime that is US-friendly. Ironically, that's apparently what the USSR was trying to accomplish.

As my pro-Bush boss noted a couple years back though, like Iraq, Afghanistan is an effective "bug killer," as lots of anti-US fighters come to the area where we can zap them. Of course, they zap a few of us along the way. You can never really win a guerilla war.
