#7  rc

your premise, taken to its logical conclusion would require us to eliminate pak and saudiland

it seems to me that if the Pak leadership was more actively confronting the local problem jihadis, there wouldn't be as much input from Pak land to cause trouble in Afghanland

and if oil dropped to 60, it would reduce the Saudi money going to the jihadis

and of course if the govt burned the Talib poppy fields, it would dry up the local financing a bit

#6  Think longer term those non-agreesors who remain in slammer territory will out produce those carrying the jihadi strain.

Quarantine Islam. Treat Jihadis with lead therapy.

#5  But its very bad that they exist in such high numbers because it indicates robust financing, recruitment, organization, etc.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia still exist. Hell, there are still mosques somewhere in the world, right?

So long as all that holds, there will be plenty of financing, recruitment, and organization.

#3  Most are probably what you could call FFPs, Fools From Pakistan. Sent to Afghanistan straight from their madrassas, with little or no training, they are being depleted at a rate indicative of a "more where that comes from" attitude. Such efforts are not sustainable, as even in Pakistan, there is a finite supply of imbeciles.
