Carl, I doubt very many people outside the Taliban itself support the Taliban. They don't exactly seem have done much to endear themselves to the population at large. Afghanistan looks to be a country of millions of starving wretches burdened with and governed by maybe a few tens of thousands of fanatics. The fanatics are by some reports heading for the hills, too. On pure demographics, the US could probably roll into Kabul unopposed, with flowers being strewn in the street. Given the suicide bomber element, a ghost town is somewhat more probable. It wouldn't be prudent to count on either of these, of course, but there's nothing like the Iraqi army, such as it was, to fight back there. The fanatics in the hills are the traditional problem with invading Afghanistan. Without the CIA supplying them, it won't be the same as with the Russians, but it's still a little scary.
