No way to impose any sort of external order there. Russia was there, US/UK and half NATO have been there, the insurgent groups have financing via drugs and God knows what else(look at Colombia how much drug financed groups can hold back progress). All the foreign forces have done plenty of damage and lost credibility. Looking back, what in the world made Russia go there in the first place and then the USA? Why is this matter not settled yet?

This has gone past many administrations and advisors, and yielded nothing.

Does anyone know if the Taliban actually have some sort of popular support there or only by fringe groups?
