Well another attack in Kabul. The Taliban may be getting desperate,,, you may think? Maybe, because they are not all death seeking suicidal fanatics. The old ones fought the Soviets. The young ones are fighting for old time Islamic rules. Sounds strange that young men would fight for the cause that wraps chicks in non slimming burquas! On another note, the Taliban were well on thier way to stop the drug trade in Afghanistan when the US took the country. The US special forces won the day with air power and suitcases full of US greenbacks. Now the western media says that drug money is funding the Talibans.. the truth is that the Karzai goverment is making money hand over fist with the drug trade... And the US know it. With all the fire power and air power the Americans have, they could burn every Poppy field in the country in a matter of days. Why don't they? Because it is keeping Karzai in power, You see Afghanistan is a country of tribes and warlords. The Americans won the war in Afghanistan by air power and suitcases full of money. They picked a western friendly warlord and put him in power, but turned the other way as to why he was a warlord...
Karzai is playing the West for all it is worth. There will be a pipeline through Afghanistan to western ports eventually. And that is the price the westerners are paying now. What is a few billion dollars and around 5 thousand casualties care to the businessmen who think they run USA? Well it's acceptable losses, as you can bet that none of their sons will die in a far away land..
