Iasked for your solution to win the war in Afghanistan and turn the
country into a stable peaceful democracy, and this is what I get.
I think I do know how to do that; at least it's what I would try if I
were President. I'd have flooded the country with television sets and
broadcasts via satellites with plenty of Islamic content but leaning to
the Sufi, plus real world news and science and Hollywood entertainment.
I actually think Western culture, science, literature, philosophy, art
is superior in the sense that given exposure and a choice, people will
choose it. Sure, it would take a generation, maybe two, but it would be
relatively peaceful and in the end Afghanistan might become an ally.
It's also what I would try with Iran.
