Writer seems a lot ambivalent.

Since NATO especially Canada, France, Germany, and other weak - knees have signed up for this if they fail where the US succeeded they know that they will become irrelevant to the US in international security so the wise ones will succeed the truly weak will fail and be carried by the others. They all know that the mission cannot be allowed to fail.

A bit over the top, IMHO. These troops don't have to take Afghanistan. No army has done that in a thousand years. The brutal Afghan winter...oh, wait a minute. We did it in six weeks. Never mind.

Six weeks. Just about as long as the French lasted against Von Moltke in the Franco-Prussian War.

No, we didn't. We ran the Taliban out of Kabul. They are still out there up in the hills and across the Pak border. Wherever the Pashtuns live, you will find Taliban.

Sometimes you just have to kill all of the inhabitants and salt the fields.

Would you use ovens in your "Final Solution to the Pashtun Problem?"

There are 16 million of them and you would have to get them all.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. You're right. If they are going to kill us and then kill us again for fighting back, there is nothing we can do. Its a lost cause. Gosh if they have honest to goodness tenacity then what are we to do. We can't possibly win against that can we? Blood thirsty savages should never be met with force, less we offend them.

If NATO forces are fired on, they should return fire with extreme prejudice. I don't think ovens will be necessary, but if they all wish to die, then perhaps the buzzards will be overloaded.

Who would you send out into the Hindu Kush to rub the Pashtuns out? Would you come out with your snivel gear and a deer rifle and help us, or would you just carry on with your little life, periodically getting on the internet to advocate genocide?

If you have nothing better to offer to the discussion, perhaps you should back away from the keyboard.
