How does your friend feel about it now?

  Haven't spoken with him in a while, but his biggest concern the last time we spoke was that Hillary might beat Rudy and abandon Afghanistan. He drew analogies to Bill abandoning Somalia and Rwanda. His general perspective was that you have war/tyranny regardless of US involvement, but at least with US involvement there is hope for the future. He was also pretty critical of western anti-war types - he thought they cared more not seeing war on TV than actually about the actual victims of war/tyranny. (Note: his perspective was a little unusual by Afghani standards. He wasn't Muslim and only part of his family escaped to US (in 1996) on refugee visas, fleeing persecution. )
