[F]orces should be substantially reduced to serve a comprehensively revised policy: America should do only what can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, airstrikes and small, potent special forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters, Will writes in the column, scheduled for publication later this week.
...
In the column, Will warns that any nation-building strategy could be impossible to execute given the Talibans ability to seemingly disappear into the rugged mountain terrain and the lack of economic development in the war-plagued nation.

Compare: An Afghan had his nose and ears cut off by the Taliban for voting.
