If I were the Taliban I would scale back attacks on the western troops and Afghan targets.

That way the west would withdraw quicker.

Then it would be quite easy to make a come back and attack the Afghan army and police who would probably crumble quite quickly.

Afghan politics are a basket case and they have been since the middle ages.

The only thing that may save Afghanistan from the Taliban is the fact that they have been exposed to western technology and products and education (esp girls) and the average Afghani might not want to go back to the middle ages Taliban style.

But there are a lot of villagers in the countryside that may like that life style.

I like it! Effective way for them to take over the country...with the political side to consider it would be hard for the US to go back in as well.

1335343 2013-04-04 06:22:00 I would look for another planet where I could set my society and its rules and move to it, therefore leaving other people on this planet to choose which way they want to conduct their lives.

Now, that's one project worth sponsoring.

Yes the world would be a better place if they had their own planet.

I am sure there are some conventions on space trash and amounts, so one planet for all them must suffice.:D

1335348 2013-04-05 01:27:00 If I was the Taliban commander I would cease attacks on the foreign forces as they withdraw and build up my forces to attack the Afgan government forces once the last foreigner leaves. Would take less than a year to defeat the Afghan national army although there are some Northern provinces that I would leave alone as they are not ethnic Pashtuns there as the Taliban are. To take all the Northern bits would bog the Taliban down in a slogging war.
Most importantly for the Taliban learn from past mistakes dont repeat them.

I am sure they'd find more virgins on neptune than on their own backyard with all the raping they do in the name of whatever god they serve...
