I agree with the overall gist of his article, that we’re risking measuring “success” by using a more esoteric version of Vietnam War-type metrics. What next? Warlord contracts instead of body counts?

And, as for propping up President Hamid Karzai, what if top campaign opponent Abdullah Abdullah beats him? Do we stay even longer?
