greg--i appreciate the posts as well, but i stressed that the argument i was interested in your response to was in the linked paper, not my cliff notes version of it. the paper presents a more detailed and comprehensive view than i could, and is focused on trying to explain the "insurgency"....unlike myself, that writer has been to afghanistan, talked with folk, etc. no need to take on my cliff notes version when there's a more substantial version a click away.
