Arming civilians is always a good sign.

So good in fact, that we may not have to send in any troops. After years of repressive crap that the Taliban has dished out to the Afghan populace, arming them will be the precursor to their own overthrow at the hands of the disgruntled but-now-armed civilians.

For this reason, I conclude one of two things is true:

1) the report is false, or

2) the Taliban are even more stupid than I suspected.
