    Thanks for your posting.

    I believe the UN Resolution(s) dealing with Afghanistan; the decisions of the NATO Council cover what needs to be done and is being done.

    Add to that the bipartisan Resolutions of our US Congress (you chose not to comment on this) adds to the above two points.

    How many allied troops, captured, have been summarily beheaded or otherwise murdered vs. safely returne to us you might also want to look into.

    This part of the world historically has respected the winner, regardless of means, which has the terrorists again in current circumstances "on top" in too much of Afghanistan.

    Here is today's postings by native Pukhtuns in and around Swat and related areas fyi as well:

    Here is another just put on the wire Global Hujra Online set of postings wherein one Afghan who is an old Communist himself [the Communists were part of the Northern Alliance when we took them in as partners initially against or vs. the Taliban in Afghanistan], which may be of readership academic interest. Sounds a bit like some of our postings today, but for the insertion of the term Communist and Communism.

    Does this foretell yet more civil war options in Afghanistan? I certainly hope not as we don't need to go back to Communism any more than we need to tolerate today's Taliban.

    One last thought: Today's Pukhtuns in Northern Paksitan are in many cases the children of Pukhtun Refugee Camps set up outside of Peshawar and related areas during and after the long war in old Afghanistan of the 1980s. Many of these exile Pukhtuns have someone been recruited into and now are a part of the back and forth stream of terrorists going to war in Afghanistan, then running back into Paksitan for presumed "safe haven."
