#3 I can't get over how sloppy Afghans are about security. First, there was the Massoud assassination. Then, there was the prison revolt that killed Mike Spann, the CIA operative. And now this. I think the US presence will persist for decades - the Afghans are just too incompetent to hold off the jihadis.

#4 It's because they have that liking for guns, but no liking for discipline, either self- or imposed. Allah will take care of the details... and somebody will do the maintenance.
