Well, why don't YOU ask them? Washington continues to work with Karzai and Karzai will almost certainly push to hold free elections next year.
US has sent $700 million in various aid packages to Afghanistan -- some geared towards rebuilding. That place was and is a mess. You want it fixed in one year?
26 US soldiers killed in Afganistan from Dec 21, 2001 to Dec 21, 2002. Once again, not "another Vietnam" as some suggested before-hand. You know who you are.
