Jay, while the USA is busy planning on disestablishing Saddam, Uday and ilk in Iraq, they are promoting yet again another equivalent elsewhere, who will, like Saddam, rise up to bite them on the bum! <The American position in Afghanistan became more complicated over the weekend, as major media, including Newsweek, reported alleged massacres of Taliban prisoners by the Northern Alliance and ethnic Uzbek warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum's forces.
It may turn out that some U.S. personnel might have been aware that the massacres had taken or were taking place. The United States was entirely dependent on the Northern Alliance and Dostum in particular and was not in a position to control, let alone punish him. War makes nasty allies.
It is not clear whether the stories that are breaking will help or hurt the American position. Dostum is despised by many Afghans for similar actions in the past, and cracking down on him may unify the country. This will not be easy however, and having a new civil war break out, with human rights groups demanding that coalition forces arrest Dostum, is not going to simplify life on the Afghan side of the border.

Dostum is a founding partner in the Matrix of Malevolence and there is the USA in partnership with him. They will live to regret it. Saddam was a good partner while they USA was upset about the hostages in Iran at the end of Carter's presidency, but the USA made a big mistake, as with helping the Matrix of Malevolence Mujahadeen in Afghanistan against the civilized Gorby, who was actually more civilized than either the Americans or the Mujahadeen.
It the USA had got off Gorby's case, the TT would still be standing, peace, light, harmony, love and prosperity would now be the norm. The USA obsessed about the Evil Empire, long after the Evil Empire of Stalin and the early 20th century was a far distant memory and the ugly Brezhnev years were fading.
Dostum is a bad guy! Uday is worse. Saddam is a relative pussy-cat [though I would not like to meet him on a dark and lonely road at night, or even in public in the middle of the day]. Mugabe is positively genteel compared with that lot.
