The state they are supporting is as bad as those they claim to be fighting.
The problems in Afghanistan wont be solved by military, especially not the American or British military who couldnt solve a 2 piece jigsaw puzzle between them.
No it won't. But more troops are needed on the gound. It's part of the solution, but no where near the full solution.

The current Afghanistan government definitly does have more problems, but I would disagree with you that it's as bad as the Taliban. At least no one is being hanged from goalposts for simply disagreeing with the government any more and it is democratic, so it is up to the people as it should be.
