It is a logical error to conclude that since something happend one way in the past, it will happen the same way in the future. I think this one is going to be done right.
Except that it already is happening. The Bush administration just rejected a request from the state department for 25,000 peacekeeping troops in Afghanistan. There are now only 4500 peacekeeping troops, pretty much all in Kabul, and none of them American. Meanwhile the American troops that are in the area are supposedly still hunting terrorists. However, there is evidence that on mulitple occasions they have been mislead by friendly warlords into attacking personal enemies whom they label as Al-Qaeda forces. Karzai's government is already shaky and the Americans haven't even left yet.
