All the public
chat in this past decade about how to win wars and conflicts and counter insurgencies have avoided what seems to me to be the key problem: Are native countryfolk ready to Die for freedom-- FOR personal freedom or freedom FROM (taliban) (fascists) ("religious" extremists)?
(The Women are willing.
Here is Problem One
everyone In the Know--reporters, military, cultural scientists-- mentions, without much discussion:
The taliban ARE coming back to kill anyone with an American made toy, a cell phone, a friend serving the New Government.
Al quaida IS going to kill you after the "occupation" if
during the "occupation" you cooperated with those who opposed them.
History shows this to be true--they WILL IN FACT COME BACK AND KILL YOU AFTER THE (american/britons/whoever) leave.
So-if as a native afghan, i (A) do not believe the taliban are truly gone, (for whatever reason, including that the Afghan Government will end up colluding with them)
and
(B) know that the taliban Will find out that my family cooperated with the americans or with
Karzai -- then,
=
after the dust settles, my family Will be slaughtered.
We can take this threat as a given, when pondering
the dilemma of the fathers and mothers of Afghanistan.
It is also a conundrum, as both A and B Will Happen
only if everyone is so afraid of A and B that they do not cooperate.
If everyone did cooperate, the taliban would be gone and B will not come to pass.
So, what it boils down to is: Are the folk so tired of living with the threat of taliban, the unfairness and cruelty and sickness and mindbending psycotic freakish oppression of taliban, the dusty dry impoverished history of No Freedom, that it is time for uprising and teaching one's children that we will risk dying for the freedom of future generations-
or, at the moment
Is Life
under any burden better than death.
So not only must the native folk trust that the taliban will not win this 'skirmish"- they must also trust that the current karzai government will not sell them out in the end.

Recently a survey was conducted by the U.N. worldwide.
The question asked was, "Would you please give your opinion about the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure.
In Africa they did not know what 'food' meant.
In Western Europe, they did not know what 'shortage' meant.
In Eastern Europe they did not know what 'opinion' meant.
In South America they did not know what 'please' meant.
And in the U.S. they did not know what 'the rest of the world' meant.
please report the real news, media.
Actually, i took down the pics and put up just a few altered ones, so no one was recognizable. Maybe silly, but one never knows...
