Can the U.S. win a war in Afghanistan?

I think that it is possible for the U.S. to win the war in Afghanistan, but it will be very hard, and will take a long time. The U.S. has had problems with the terrain in Afghanistan, and the ways the Taliban and al-quiada use it. However I don' think this will stop them from winning the war, it will just make it more difficult. While the terrorist groups have the advantage of knowing their land, the U.S. has the world strongest military. We will need o be patient, and to come up with better plans and ways to attack the terrorist hidden in the mountains. One thing we have behind us is the support of the people of Afghanistan. The people there want democracy and want to get rid of the Taliban. I think at this point in the war for the U.S. to win we must focus less on attacking the Taliban, and instead work on developing Afghanistan. If we take away at least some of the advantage they have with the mountains, we will easily be the stronger force. The people of Afghanistan can help us to fight better in the terrain and give us greater numbers. It is possible for us to win this war, but it will take a lot of time, and a change in our policies.
