This framework could be applied more universally than just to today's problem areas.

-Internal security capabilities
-Effectiveness of civil/criminal justice systems
-Breadth and depth of political corruption
-Human rights violations
-Weakness of civil society
-Pervasiveness of transnational criminal organizations
-External support for government
-Ethnic/religious discontent
-Military discontent with civilian government
-Popular demonstrations/strikes/riots
-Insurgent/seperatist/
-External support for opposition
-Threat of conflict with or in neighboring state
-Weakness of domestic economy/unemployment/inflation
-Degree of income disparity
-Capital flight
-Decreased access to foreign funds
-Reduced trade openess
-Extent of environmental degradation
-Food/energy shortages
-Ability to respond to natural disasters
-Contested elections
-Unpopular changes in food/energy prices

That Afghan clusterfuck is getting grim.Just talking about the political stuff,Karzaiis openly daring us to GTFO, knowing full well that he would be dead within a week. That is if he stayed - which he wouldn't.
This means that he knows we ain't going nowhere.
Gen Dostum is a non-starter. A worse war criminal than even the US can get away w/ backing. And our boy, bdullah,is from the wrong tribe.
Alas.
(I do love tweaking the boyz. Must be easily amused.)
