The people of Afghanistan need to stand up and fight to protect themselves. We need to make sure they have the best weapons and equipment, and then we need to turn the safety of the people of Afghanistan over to the people themselves.
And we need to alleviate the extreme poverty in Afghanistan. We need to send them ships full of cotton seeds, and ships full of sheep, and ships full of farming equipment, etc. We need to help them to create a peace-time economy.
Also, we can have an auxiliary army, like the French Foreign Legion, go in and help the people of Afghanistan; Mexicans, and Colombians, and people from the Philippines, and others, can join the French Foreign Legion and they can serve in Afghanistan.
Schools, and education are also high on the list of priorities in Afghanistan. We can also teach the adults how to be farmers, etc. Some other ideas are Catholic hospitals, Catholic schools, and Catholic orphanages, along with freedom of religion and Catholic churches.
Solar power and wind power can also happen in Afghanistan, they can go green.
We must not let the high cost and sacrifice in Afghanistan by Americans be inconsequential. We made a difference, and we can make a lasting difference. No life was lost in vain.
It is so sad, but we must not give up, we can enter a new phase, and we can make a lasting change for the better in Afghanistan.
Salute,
Tony V.
