Really? How many 9/11 terrorist came from Afghanistan?
I don't think I'm missing the point, I think you are.

The president says the United States isn't trying to turn into Afghanistan into what he calls a "model of Jeffersonian democracy." The goal, Obama tells CBS' "Sunday Morning" show, is to keep Afghanistan from returning to being a terrorist haven.

Looks like he is fighting a tactic. We can not even rid LA of gang violence yet somehow we are going to be able to change a whole political and religious culture of the entire region and Obama thinks that is a modest goal....
So what are the steps to make sure that we stop "Afghanistan from returning to being a terrorist haven"?
