The insane thing about the US is that they have some polices that are practically impossible but they will not change them because it would be politically tricky.
To both have a real country in Afganistan where a group of minorites, that don't get often get along, that make up 60% of the population supress the largest minority of 40% is totally insane in a country like Afganistan.
The Pashtun tribes have dominated the their region and beyond for a long time, and they are essentially a warrior culutre that will never give up. At least not with the level of violance the west is willing to employ.
The problem is that the local allies that the US uses in Afganistan also don't know the area they are fighting in and they don't know the language of the people they are fighting. This makes the 'local' support far less useful then theory says it should be.
