Don't forget, the Plan is almost certainly something we have heretofore not imagined. For if we figured it out, the bad guys would have figured it out and designed a countermove against it. So Afghanistan? Not beyond the realm of possibilities. But the Taliban cannot continue to act like a bunch of jerks either. They don't have to start celebrating Christmas, but they need to show they can coexist in this world.
They don’t need to coexist with anyone tbh. It may be an odd thought to have but someone had it once...something like all men being endowed inalienable rights by some such someone. I don’t think the end was “unless you had a bad dude in your country and then a superpower forcibly occupied and then continued to occupy, so fuck you and the land you are born in, super power wants you to live based on their view of the world.” but I could be wrong, vagaries of public education and all.
I sincerely HOPE that The Plan has actual action dates, and that this isn't going to stretch on until the whole point is moot. I believe that it does, but seriously how much more of this do they need to let play out before they put a stop to it?

By coexist, I mean that they show respect for individual rights of others, not doing our bidding.
