The different media this morning have been referring to foeign 'mercenaries' fighting on the Taliban side. Till now, everyone on the Taliban side has been described as at least a True Believer if not a fanatic. Are we now to believe they were only in it for the money?

...A-and while I'm out the lurk mode, how come we don't have a declaration of war? Can we declare war against a ngo while effectively waging war against the geographical country? Anybody know the last Declaration of War? Dec 8, 1941?
