I think once again, this war demonstrates the folly of a technological power-Us, namely- trying to blast an enemy back into the stone age who's really already there. Either go in there & let the generals pave the whole gotdang place-Like we prolly coulda done cheaper in Vietnam, or stay the hell out. The only way to get completely rid of the Taliban is to kill every man-child who's old enuff to have hair on his nutz. And we all know, THAT ain't gonna happen. From what I've read, the South Vietnamese leaders back in the Sixties & Seventies were as bad, if not perhaps worse than the people we were ostensibly fighting.. I'm pretty sure this bunch isn't a whole lot different...
