...Ashraf Ghani, who is about to step down in Afghanistan, was writing a proposal paper on the political transition in Syria
https://effectivestates.org/wp-cont...-the-Future.pdf

quote:

The political unrest in Syria has descended into a civil war. Stripped of legitimacy, the Assad regime has launched a violent assault against the opposition, which is itself determined to see the end of Assad and the overthrow of the regime. With few exceptions, the international community has roundly condemned the actions of the regime and called for Assad to step down. Faced with the unpalatable choice of standing by while Assad massacres the people of Syria or engaging in what is already a violent and unpredictable conflict, the international community should at a minimum prepare to assist any future transition, while at the same time avoid the unintended consequences of badly designed assistance.

Before preparing and implementing a strategy, both policymakers and donors must have a comprehensive understanding of the situation. In this report, we outline recommendations for working groups and members of the international community. We develop scenarios for transition; identify relevant peace-building lessons from the past; and pinpoint issues to be addressed in articulating and implementing a post-Assad agenda

Assad Curse confirmed

I don’t think the Taliban has had respect for America since we paid them to fight the Soviets.

To be fair, the ISI still bankrolls the Taliban, so they're not wrong.

If capitalism tells us anything, we should have built warehouses all over and forced the Taliban to only have 2 minutes to eat lunch and pee before boxing up more packages if we wanted to crush their will to live.

If the Afghani people had 2 day prime shipping they would have finally greeted us as liberators
