#3 Point on Jim.

No one seems to ever want to see the conflict from the other side. Everything is written as though it's all 'going to plan' or that there are no problems facing them, that major failures have never happened or that their abilities have been curtailed.

#4 From the article: Curbing the Taliban may happen if and when these tribes manage to reestablish traditional balances of power and restraint among themselves.
As if Afghanistan ever had a balance of power and restraint. It switches from being a wretched hive of scum and villainy at war with itself to being a hotbed of terrorist exports.
