It is the most important factor against stability in that country. I really don't understand why you would want the media to not show the awfull things that are still happening there (and in Afghanistan too btw).
I am not downplaying them they are the truth.. But why i don't want the media to show it all the time? because Majority people belive only what they see on the media. Since they don't see anything good happening in the media then belvie that nothing good is happening at all and no progress is being made.
But your a different type of person you are more rational and can understand that good things are happening but majority of people are not like that. Majority people only believe what they actually See on the TV.
Though your whole post i do agree with one thing. no matter what we gotta stay there for the whole thing and we can't backout doing a half ass job no matter the consequence..
and sorry to post this part OT i read this yesterday and was impressed by the AFgan people. how they actually protected a US SEAL.
