Sunday Surkhi-Iraq-Afghanistan-and--

Overheard the discussion on TV
 "We won in Iraq, but we have to keep enough ground forces....."
"We had similar situation as in Korea, or Germany"
Then my question is what next, may be Pakistan, the worry being if the nukes get into wrong hands of Taliban, a genuine worry. So far the Pakistan Army has done a good job of keeping it preserved from such hands. But that is not the point of my question. How many other countries we can hold with democracy or whatever you call it, our type of government, but Iraq , for instance has had centuries old connections with Iran and not just shia only. There is lot of cultural overlap. One of these days they are gpoing to say to us
"Get the hell out of here"
 Our type of government does not suit them or any other country for that matter.
 Try taking a shalwar and long shirt and the turban off a Taliban for example and shave off or decrease his beard etc. Teach him English also and eveything else but can you make him American?
 He will always remain Taliban at heart.
 I feel that our leadership has to come to terms with reality and start seeing things as they are and not what they should be. There is going to be some day a wake up call for us and I hope it is not--repeat-- it is not like pearl harbour or 9/11.
