power in afghanistan, and you say wait, when we pull out, they ll realize we are best friend they could possibly have. i think what they re going to find is their problems aren t over. in other words, they ve got an awful lot of enemies in that part of the world. everyone hates each other more than they actually hate the united states, and that they re going to eventually, they re going to different actors are going to conclude that working with the u.s. is better than being left without the u.s. brian: these insurgencies, when they take power, like morsi, the brotherhood, the al qaeda in iraq, they always make the same mistakes. they are too brutal. it s easy to be a revolutionary. it is not easy to govern. it is not harder to seize power. you ve got to keep paep. they don t know how to keep people happy and so they always use force.
