In the article Restoration and Reformation of Afghanistan from the blog Red State, the author states how America can deal with the war in Afghanistan. Plans of actions to both help end the war in Afghanistan, and to help the Afghans themselves are layed out. The author explains how the Afghans can conquer the Taliban and reclaim their country. They simply need America's help. As stated in the article, they are a tough people and could expel the Islamic extremists with military training. Though it would require us to send more troops to Afghanistan, it would be productive in the long run. Where as the people there would gain more freedom, we would also gain another friend in the region.
Along with military help, it is pointed out that our country could help their country's economy. Teaching the tribes there how to grow their own food would allow them to eventually grow enough to sell. Though the author doesn't go into detail, it is easy to see he has a valid point. In an area that food is scarce it would be an economic boon. The author however points out the flaws in his own plans, such as the fact that the Taliban is not going to sit around waiting for us to make friends with the Afghan tribes. So as stated in the article, "He who supplies the goods gets the prize." Will it be the Taliban or us? If the author's fears are confirmed it won't be us. President Obama continues do drag out decisions about sending troops to the theater. A choice needs to be made before its too late. Over all, the author makes points plain and simple, and lists the good and the bad consequences for each plan of action, or lack of action.
