Besides this being a comment only revealing your inner ####bag, The US FEDERALIST system would have done quite well in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the DoS scum we sent there to "help" the Afghans were typical US bureaucrat Eastern liberal "old school tie" proto-communists who crammed an overcentralized and unworkable government down the Afghans' collective throat. Making anything anyone did after that irrelevant toward the success of the rest of the conflict. So no, the cost has not been worth it.

Yes, your scatalogical comment, including your typical non American ignorant judgementalism, despite the paradise of a polity your own government is, was pretty sad.
