well, bin laden is still on the loose, after eight+ years, and he was the alleged impetus for the whole afghan campaign.
basically, afghanistan is a black hole, which everyone from the english to the russians have already figured out.
unless, possibly, we had other reasons for rushing in there? i.e. a replay of the "great game" / cold war ?
