Well said and often ignored by those who conveniently default to this idea that if we just let the Afghans tell us who/what type of gov't etc etc...
I wish I had an answer as to which is best... I do know that despite whether we think the Westphalian World is disentegrating or not, we still live in a state-world, and the confluence of civilizations rubbing up against each other in that region demands our attention and a partner of some sort... a state seems to best fit that description (and a "good" responsible state is better than a corrupt negilent state).
George's warning is also worth noting...
Live well and row
