> Kicking the Taliban out Read history. NO popular insurgency against an invading army has ever been defeated. The only people who can "kick the taliban" out are the Afghan people. They have to get to the point where the risk of death is preferable than life under tyranny. Unlike the Afgan's the European Enlightenment saved us from religious tyranny... although we still have our share of dufus genetically predisposed to accept propaganda. Those facts have been demonstrated time and time again historically. It took the American colonies 8 years to kick out the British who were the worlds most powerful then. It took the Vietnamese 10 years to kick out the French who were far more powerful. Another 20 years to kick out the Americans who were the most powerful nation on earth. It took the Afghan's 10 years to kick out the USSR. Then 10 years to kick us out. They all beat bigger powers fair and square. Ron Paul and I both predicted that our invasions would spread Muslim Extremism (now in Africa etc.) This is an effective strategy of a smaller power against a larger power. A strategy pointed out in military school by experts like, once again: Masters of War: History's Greatest Strategic Thinkers Lecture 19 Mao Tse-tung in Theory and Practice Turn now to China and Mao’s three phases of revolutionary war. The key to an insurgent uprising is to buy time with a strategic defense, to build legitimacy and cultivate friends abroad during a strategic stalemate, and to take over in a strategic counteroffensive. You’ll see this theory in action as Mao’s revolutionaries rose up against Chiang Kai-shek. Lecture 20 Classics of Counterinsurgency How do you fight a revolutionary uprising? The French theorists David Galula and Roger Trinquier offered strategic theories based on the anti-French insurgency in Algeria. This lecture shows how these theories from the 1960s apply in 21st-century Iraq and Afghanistan. ----- Cooler, more educated thoughtful thinkers did not prevail after another of my predictions: 9/11 I was telling people in the 90s that they would succeed in a massive terrorist attack on the US.
