Why was this tape not shared with international partners/ /Media that remains a secret???
It's no secret, it just probably didn't concern you specifically maybe.

"We can talk about stability later, but for now you are engaged in war, and war does not equal stability."
I agree but the question is with whom? Once the real enemy is defined we may better find final resolution.
Certainly, our declared enemy of al Qaeda will permit the time necessary to see what rises to the fore. We can do battle with that mythic enemy in Afghanistan possibly forever without having to declare victory and leave.
Our presence, therefore, seems indispensible. You need never fear us abandoning you again. Indeed, we'll be like neighbors.

It could happen.
I wish the American side had never left (the aid had continued) after the Soviets departed. A lot of this mess could have been avoided.
Just the other day there was a demo in NWFP. For the first time I saw people holding placards stating "No to the murderers of Pashtuns". This has some fairly ominous signs for all those who are involved. This problem has moved far beyond the issue of AQ and some Taliban.
US can't really win, can they ? If they stay they are called "occupying forces" or "imperialistic" (Iraq, Japan and current Afghanistan). If they leave then they are blamed for leaving a mess.
This is correct. In point of fact, however I may agree or disagree with blain2, we had no historic role in Afghanistan and would likely be immediately seen by a weakened Soviet Union of encroaching.
Equally, others (namely the PRC) would have screamed to high heaven about our neo-imperialist ambitions. It may be, in retrospect, that we were the only ones who might have prevented a civil war. More likely, though, we'd simply become sucked into a different if extreme mess.
Altogether unpredictable- both the immediate and all down-stream perturbations from such a change.
It is what it is and we must deal with matters as they and not as we'd wish.
Read my post carefully. The US were never really in Afghanistan after the Russians departed. However had the level of aid given to the Afghans continued at the same level (It was $1 billion USD from the US fully matched by the Saudis plus the rest of the aid), some $2.5 billion USD could have been going into the Afghan economy and development, looking at the purchasing power of this money back in 1988, it could have done wonders and not allowed a series of bankrupt governments to come to power in Kabul.
