That was the moron logic of some in 'Nam. Newsflash: You can't "kill all the Taliban."

If you're not bombing them, you're dealing with the power players for whatever reason.

We're occupying the country to do the whole hearts and minds bullshit. It's beyond me.

IMO, short of the usual imperialist rape-the-resources thing, we have no business there.

Nation-building A-stan is like nation-building the moon. There is no payoff.

Except, for some reason, they've got a pretty great TKD team.
