Right, not rocket science, and after the fact any child can figure it out. However, this region had been 'rife' for centuries, while repelling every global power that saw them as a hurdle along the path to world domination. The threat posed by the Taliban had not resulted in the past, and for the life of me I don't remember a single person predicting it prior to the build up of the Taliban. Maybe because in the past the 'rife' situation had resulted in a nation so wrought with inner conflict that it could pose no threat to the rest of the world. The Taliban was/is a ghost rider that showed up at an opportune time that was unlike any that preceded it. Now it seems there is no end of the people jumping in line to claim it should have been common sense. How about listing some of the brutal dictators that rise to power when there's longstanding internal strife... Stalin Hitler Pol Pot Now try listing the good guys that rise to power when there's longstanding internal strife. jttmab
