Sun,
Good post. From the talking heads here, there is a feeling that the NA will be unable to do the job. We are bombing front line taliban positions for the past couple of days to facilitate that. If the NA was able to assume power the way you describe that would be a great strategy. When i saw live TV of NA their soldier were wearing sandals. This is a rag tag bunch. As far as Pakistan, it seems to me that they are trying to right a wrong they made. They are looking for particiation in a government of the Pashtun of the South. Not unreasonable either.
I believe some of the civilian casualties are coming from hits aimed at the taliban who are hiding in the civilian population. When we see some vehicles we probably strike and have some collateral damage. May be inevitable and may be counterproductive.
As far as starvation, we are supplying food in large quantities I believe, and the UN has stated starvation was coming before 9/11. mike
