Instead of sending more US troops to Afghanistan, I think that the US should enlist the aid and support of Russia. The Russians were there recently before and faced the same enemies we are fighting now. When the Russians left in defeat, they were defeated by the insurgents aided by the US. If we fought as allies this time instead of on opposite sides, we could learn from each others experiences. The terrain in Afghanistan has not changed and the enemy uses the same methods of ambush as before and has only recently added the use of IED's which method they have imported from the fighting in Iraq. Just think what we could accomplish with the US and Russia fighting the insurgents from the north and west and Pakistan attacking from the east. The insurgents would be surrounded. This could be our best chance for success.
