A couple of posts from Iqbal Latif which suggest workable solutions are in progress. Message 16436422 Message 16437185 Essentially, "we are saying to the Afghan people, the Taliban wasn't elected by the Afghani people, they are a self-imposed dictatorship. If you want to get rid of them, we will help you." Which is similar to what we said to the Afghanis 20 years ago, when the Russians were trying to take over, and to the Nicaraguans, when the Sandinistas were trying to take over. And if the people who we help get rid of the Taliban turn out to be bastards, we'll be blamed. But it won't mean that we want bastards to take over. And such are the burdens and moral ambiguities of the Pax Americana. You guys pay attention, you're learning how history really works. It's like making sausages or making laws. Watching really close is sort of sickening.
