I was really glad to hear him say he's reducing the presence in Afghanistan as well. I've read a little about the history of Afghanistan (OK, my husband has, and he tells me the good parts), and interestingly there has NEVER been an invading or protective force that has been able to succeed there, all the way back to Genghis Khan. But countries keep trying!
I think we've done quite a bit better than expected, but peace, stability, freedom, etc., in that country will look a lot different there than most other places. The best thing we can do is throw money at education there, which is the best deterrent to future problems.
