The Taliban sheltered and hosted Al-Qaeda, taunting the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks, a clear act of War. The Afghan people have proven incapable of appreciating or defending their freedom, they deserve the Taliban. The appropriate response is to put them on notice that the next bit of trouble out of their hell hole, they will be reading by oil lamps and drinking out of hand pumped wells for two generations and tilling their fields with mules. They will travel by ox cart on dirt roads and cross rivers by ferry, because every bridge, every railroad, every petrol facility in Afghanistan will be destroyed.
The locals know the men doing the beheading. Why aren’t they secretly eliminating the taliban one by one, night after night, house after house. The Taliban would be sh**less if they knew everytime they show their face, they are a target.
The proper response is to get the hell out and let them fester in their own sewer.
who is the "them"? The Talibs or the locals?
they will be reading by oil lamps and drinking out of hand pumped wells for two generations and tilling their fields with mules. -- they already do that. Life post the 80's support we gave to the Muhajiheedeen (remember Rambo II?) has been that way
They will travel by ox cart on dirt roads and cross rivers by ferry, because every bridge, every railroad, every petrol facility in Afghanistan will be destroyed. -- already happened. The reason the Talibs have the money, guns and ability is because they were created by and are being supported by Pakistan -- at times given American weapons..
