How we lost Afghanistan:

* We need to turn them into mini-Americans!
* We need rules of engagement. We don't want to shoot the wrong people!
* We can buy them off with money and trinkets. Then they will fight on our side!
* We must meet like force with like force. It's not fair to use nuclear weapons when they are using rifles from the 1920s.

How Afghanistan should've gone:

* OK, let's try diplomacy. Maybe they will tolerate us.
* No? OK, let's consider the alternatives. Either we commit genocide and just slaughter every man, woman and child. Or we glass the place and wait a few years and move in. Either way, we need to take land from these people and bring America here.

The Romans had this figured out a long time ago. "Do you want to join our trade empire? OK, welcome! If not, then we will commit genocide if need be."

If I were president, I'd rename the "Department of Defense" or "Department of Homeland Security" to the old name: "Department of War."

The orders would be simple: Kill as many people as fast as you can when we declare war. Do not stop killing them until I say so. Use whatever means you would like. In fact, I am going to give bonuses out based on how many confirmed kills you get, I don't care how old they are or what sex they are.

And the most important order of all: Do NOT cohabitate or marry or bring the enemy home! I do NOT want half-breeds here or there.

Rome was eventually colonized by the same barbarians. If you really want to win in Afghanistan or anywhere else, offering to have people join your giant Wal-Mart of an empire leads to suicide. The rule should be total annihilation. "If it's not our people, it dies."

Exactly. Rome fell because of multiculturalism (among other things). The way to win is always genocide your enemies.
