This sounds like a workable plan.

But I wonder if one can reasonably factor in the fanatacism of these Taliban and AQ thugs.

But overall it seems sound. Pacify the ones you can. Kill the ones you can't.

Fanaticism won't keep them from freezing or starving.

The Moros in Mindanao were fanatical. Still are. Pershing whipped them so bad they didn't rise again for 40 years. In the case of the Pashtuns, most are not suicidally fanatic Islamic jihadis, but most ARE really into revenge and hospitality and other tenets of the Pathan Code, which the Arab al Qaeda jihadis manipulate to their benefit.

But I wonder if one can reasonably factor in the fanatacism of the "Let's Hate America" press?

"Pacify the ones you can. Kill the ones you can't."

Maybe it should be pacify the ones who want to be pacified- but don't waste
any time trying to convince them to want to be pacified.
