Can the US Win?

``THE DEADLINE President Obama was intentionally vague last December when he said that American troops would begin to transfer out of Afghanistan by July 2011. At the time, we agreed that a deadline, so long as it was not set in stone, made sense. Americans need to know this war will not go on forever. Mr. Karzai needs to know that American protection is not open-ended. American generals and diplomats need to know that their work is being closely reviewed.''

From the NYT.

The US has stayed in Korea for over sixty years now. Is it possible to stay in Afghanistan that long?

I don't think so, but I'll be dead by then.
