Adding more troops to Afghanastan

I believe that unmanned drone aircraft that kill from afar, and more often than not include more innocent civilians than enemy, and thinly spread American and NATO forces seem as foreign occupiers allied with a corrupt Afghan government, do little to eradicate the Taliban or Al Quaeda who control thousands of villages throughout Afghanistan.
A troop buildup will kill more people, including Americans, enemies and innocents. Escalating our military operation will not win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. It will have the opposite effect.
Greg Mortenson has successfully demonstrated a way to succeed in Afghanastan. He has traveled among the people of Afghanastan and has built hundreds of schools and made many friends for America. What we need are thousands of Greg Mortensons, each accompanied by a couple of Afghan bodyguards who speak the indigenous language. They can create jobs by building schools and critical infrastructure with dollars that now are wasted on propping up an ineffectual and probably illegitimate Afghan government, and billions squandered on military expenditures.
