#1 The other thing the comic book veneer does is to make thugs like Hu look virtually civilized. If it weren't for these clucks, people would be focusing on what is going on in China. They are doing such a favor for China, I would not be surprised to learn China is giving them more money than France.

#2 I must be missing it too. When the marines come around on patrol, you say "they're in that cave over there" and they will kill them for you. Do they want to remain miserable and isolated?

#3 What makes you think Afghans believe they are miserable and isolated? And the Marines move on and the Taliban stay. The best thing for the Afghans to do is lower their heads til;l the firing stops and then find out who won and what the new rules are. Then start a rebellion against the winners who start to look like losers. It's fun.

#5 There's no subtlety to them, not even a good set of lies. There's no talk of "throwing off the yoke of foreign oppression," no promises however false of freedom and dignity.

yep, Taliban tell Lies thru Forked False Tooths
