Another problem is that you just can't beat an entire nation that has so many allies. The problems in the middle east aren't going to be solved in Afghanistan. That was only safe haven for Al Qaida for a time. As it stands now, more terrorists are waiting in Pakistan who are more than willing to replace the dead or imprisoned. (Much the same as the States could never get a handle on Vietnam or Korea because they are being supported by external forces). The replacements can't be numbered but I am fairly certain, they will be never ending.
