Losing support in Afghanistan

I found this section of the article most interesting:

Another area of disagreement has been Karzai's recent suggestion that local "community police" forces might be created to protect remote, vulnerable areas where security forces have little presence. To many foreign observers, this raises the specter of reviving Islamic and tribal militias, after four years of costly international efforts to disarm, demobilize and reintegrate them into civilian life. emphasis mine

I wonder, how long until that kind of "international effort" will be put in place in the US under the guise of the UN. At least they can see the poor results it's given them in Afghanistan. Not that they ever learn from past mistakes.
