#3 After reading the NIE I think I understand why we are alloowing the Jihadi's to temporarily take over areas were they can. Ala Afghanistan, S Afghanistan, Anbar, Rat Lines Anbar, Baghdad part, Warizistan.

Very simply it forces the people to see the true face of thier beloved Islamist and feel the consequences of thier victory up close and personal. I have seen the pattern that once the gerneral pop has their fill to the point were even the Big Satan himself is a improvement we roll in and retake the zones. Its winning hearts and minds BACKWARDS by just getting your enemy to lose them. Odd yes but it does seem to be working. After all the Big Satan will never be loved thier is nothing we can do to achieve that feat so by becoming the lesser/temporary evil is really our only option besides scorched earth.

#6 There are some normal people in Berkeley, Oldcat. I'd bet the physicists at LBL and the mathematicians at MSRI are fairly normal. Normal for physicists and mathematicians, that is. They don't deserve the Taliban.

#7 A pamphlet distributed in the Miranshah bazaar said clerics would be collecting funds to pay for a force aimed at protecting people from criminals.

Ah, yes. Ye Olde Holy Man Shakedown, a tried and true method for showing your love for The Prophet.
Try saying "no" to them Wazooians...and enjoy your acid bath.

#9 Fixed adresses. What a great opportunity for a visit from 1 ton of fun. Too bad our leaders don't have the stomach for that.
