I believe, and hope, that we're not far from that future
where the militaries of the world become more rescuers
than invaders. If democracy can find it's way into a couple
of more places, say Iran and China, that vision could soon
become reality.

Can we try and concentrate on Afghanistan (and possibly Iraq) for the
moment please.

I think living in a world where the USA was sent back like a dog with
its tail between its legs after taking on a gang of blokes wearing bed
sheets and armed with a load of Soviet army surpless rifles and RPGs
wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

Sent packing? The whole point of going in there is to establish
a democracy over a dictatorship. So victory for the US
can be claimed the minute the...people of these countries
clearly tell us to leave.
