I wish Barbara Bush had taught George to finish what he started

I can see how some might read this. Hey, it's just a letter, don't worry about it. Let me remind everyone that these are the same people the US trained to fight a years long war against the USSR, and in the end, they won. From BBC:

Reclusive Taleban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar has sent a new message to supporters, vowing to struggle for Afghanistan's 'independence'.

Mullah Omar sent a two-page message to the Afghan Islamic Press agency to mark the Muslim Eid ul Fitr festival.

He said the Taleban had 'far greater unity, brotherhood and steadfastness than before'.

Mullah Omar led the Taleban regime that ruled Afghanistan until it was overthrown by US-led forces in 2001.

His message comes on the third anniversary of the Taleban's flight from Kabul in as US-led forces marched on the city.

Mullah Omar said the jihad, or holy war, being fought by the Taleban was not aimed at 'getting to power'.

'If [the Taleban] wanted to secure power and material benefits, they could have made a deal with the Americans,' he said.
...
In Mullah Omar's latest message he again rounded on President Hamid Karzai:

'The puppet administration and agents are installed to destroy the courage and belief of the Afghans, their fate and their morally clean society.'

Mullah Omar has managed to elude capture despite the hunt by thousands of US-led forces.

There have been sporadic reports of sightings, including one in Quetta, south-west Pakistan, in November last year, but nothing substantiated.

He is believed to be hiding in the mountainous region along the Afghan-Pakistan border, as is al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Bin Laden himself delivered an anti-US message recently, shortly before the US presidential election.

Mullah Omar said that the US 'should know that we are determined to win the independence of our country'.

He added: 'I will not let you and your hopes down. I will not leave a shameful history as a legacy for our future generations.'

Instead of a long slog in one country, Afghanistan, we now have it in two. Sure, the war in Afghanistan seems pretty low key right now, but that's because the US hasn't committed the resources to rebuilding the country in the same way that we have in Iraq. This job is still left to be done, and the deposed leaders are still roaming free. You gotta finish what you started at some point.
