1) Force doesn't win the day in Afghanistan. Hell, if it takes bribing, then that's what it takes. The CIA literally bought half of the Northern Alliance

Except that Afgans switch sides quicker than the U.S. can print a $100 bill. Just depends on who's winning at the moment in that location.

2) A Northern Allians backed government already runs Afghanistan. Screw what Pakistan thinks

Well a) the "Government" doesn't extend it's power much past the outskirts of Kabul, and b) considering that there are more Al-Queda cells in Pakistan than there ever were in Afganistan, AND that Pakistan has nukes, AND that the dictatorship holds the relgious factions of Pakistan barely in check, I think "screw what they think" isn't a sound policy.

USA can print more $100 than anyone else

Like Pakistan is going to toss around nukes

Central government power is growing and like i said once the superhighway is done those warlords and wannabes are toast

No, but a Taliban/Al-Queda controlled Pakistan might.

What does the highway actually do? Is it that powerful? Maybe we should build a highway through Iraq... that'll show 'em!

It's about projecting power through the whole damn place!
