Political Stuff - Afghanistan, Pakistani help?

Barack Obama is releasing a review over the military strategy in Afghanistan. This report will show the progress made in this country for the 9 years that we have been fighting this war. This report was made by 16 non military agencies instead of the reports made by the military. This assessment shows negative results for this "conflict".  They believe that the only way we can start to make a real dent in rebel forces is if we have Pakistani help to keep the rebels from escaping into their borders for rest and resupply before they cross the border again to engage American forces.

I believe that if we can get Pakistan to support us then we might be able to make a difference in the war. But the problem is even with Pakistani help we are still fighting a war against people who don't want our help. A war is won not by the bigger army but by the people who want victory the most and if we don't have the support of Afghanis and Pakistanis or the people within our own borders then we are wasting away money and soldiers for a lost cause. The best idea would be to pull our troops out. The enemy will think they won but we tell them well leave them alone unless they do something against us. And if they do decide to reengage us by some form of attack on American soil then we head back there with force. But the key to this working is to make it public about how we are leaving them alone and what will happen if they attack us. Then if they do reengage us we will have public support on our soil to send a force back over there. But when we go back over there we go over there with a force that they could never imagine. And we have to deal with them such force that no one in that area will ever challenge our power again. Before the world wars we were not thought of as powerful but after we flexed our countries power no one doubted it. Now 70 years later I feel the world even some of our allies need to be shown the true might that is the United States. See people always question weather it is better to be feared or loved. Well as long as the world is shown our mercy then we should not be afraid to show our power when a little tiny country feels they can attack us. That way the world will fear us but most of the world is on our side and will enjoy the fact that we wont hold back all the time anymore.
