Make that "but I have my doubts that further intervention would [have] a
good outcome".
There was a "This American Life" program a while back about people who
attempted to do good but ended up doing harm, illustrating just how hard it
can be to make things better rather than worse for other people. The notion
that we can somehow "fix" Afghanistan is probably both arrogant and
foolish. I suspect that only the Afghans themselves are up to sorting out
the mess that we and the USSR made.
