No one wants to devote the resources needed to win there. The entire country, such as it was, was destroyed over a period of 30 years. I think it would require something in the $100-200 billion range at minimum - just on infrastructure - to make a difference there. The question, as always, is who will pay for it. Right now, the answer is no one, so Afghanistan lingers in the void.
