America lost because of a weakness in the ideological front. If America was really serious about winning in Afghanistan, then they should have pushed for feminism, more democracy, liberalism, diplomacy, buying out politicians, pushing for a more secular Pakistan. America could have destroyed Pakistan like that, but instead they invaded Afghanistan and caused Pakistan to be on high alert.
I won't say they were completely unsuccessful, they did accomplish a couple of things...
Trust me regardless, how much west tries to push their ideology here, there wont be a shortage of Zia ul haq /Hamid Gul fans(one being myself) who would turn it into a failed project.
