Default When you\'re wounded and left on Afghanistan\'s plains

[ QUOTE ]
If Bush43 succeeds in creating a free and independent Iraq, then the benefits will revolutionize the middle-east. I don't like our chances in Afghanistan. I think the NATO policy in Afghanistan is highly flawed.

[/ QUOTE ] Questions:

1. What do you estimate the probability of having "a free and independent Iraq" (and, I assume also democratic since it was already free and independent during Saddam's reign) within the next five years to be? (My personal estimate? Around 60%.)

2. What would be in your opinion a correct as opposed to the current "flawed NATO policy in Afghanistan" ? (My personal opinion ? History tells me that it is a flawed policy to try and occupy Afghanistan in the first place! Unlike some folks, I have read my History. And Kipling too.)
