"Afghans see change in U.S. command as a threat to safety" is the headline in the LA Times. Considering that why should we stay in Afghanistan?

The majority of Afghans don’t want us there. They have no history of a central government and apparently no desire to create one. These are tribal people and the only authority they recognize is their tribal elders. The current “Central Government” is corrupt and the president’s brother is a top drug dealer. I think we should leave the country but offer a full education the Afghan women. Since their entire culture is based on subjugating women and keeping the ignorant, the most efficient way to bring the to the 21st century is to educate girls and women in Europe and the U.S.

It is much cheaper and more humane than war and will culturally shock the country into the 21st century.

We won the war punished their leaders, our job is done. We don’t belong there anymore.
