I don't see it working, you can deploy allt he people you like, all it will do is serve up more hate for you, hate whichshouldn't nessacerily be targetted towards you. Russia fortified Chechnya for years, what was thee nd result,t he problem still remains, as large as ever.

Pushtoons form half of the afghan population, there are about th same amount of them across the border in Pakistan, these people live in a tribal society even today, a society you cannot imagine, loyalties you cannot break. You can't put the wort people in charge (Karzai and co) and expect things to happen. You will need to engage the Pushtoon, allow them thier fair slice of power, do things how afghans want and only then can you work with them to eliminate your real problem, the terrorists.
