Kipling done by Connery and Caine was a good film, and object lesson folks might watch, as too few with opinions are literate enough to actually READ it.
I think you might find more than you expect here. Kipling came up around here not too long ago. I have a fairly extensive collection and what I don’t have, my library does.
Why do we keep trying to change countries that haven’t progressed past the first century, yet? Let’s focus on one’s who have advanced and have a great compassion for the human spirit.

if we’re trying to win the war of course it’s unwinnable
if we’re trying to help afghanistan help herself, not force her into democracy, we got it
remember they are a tribal country, and to try to change a whole nation into our own image, like bush did, is ludicrous
furthermore, there will always be battles between tribes - we’ll never change that

^you can’t help someone who won’t help itself. There is no democratic movement in Afghanistan.

We have a similar problem in Afg. We can’t attack or really stop a major supporter. Pak’s SIS seems to be more of an enemy than many we have.

fennec, I agree. It is an oversimplification; although, I think Afg. is closer than Iraq is in comaparison.
