YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THERE IS FIGHTING GOING ON IN AFGHANISTAN AT THIS MOMENT… SOME POCKETS OF RESISTANCE TO THE TALIBAN TAKE-OVER ARE STILL IN A SHOOTING WAR…THIS IS NOT SURPRISING… AFGHANISTAN, AS A COLLECTION OF TRIBES, HAS BEEN FIGHTING REGIONAL CONFLICTS LONG BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE BRITISH, RUSSION, AND FINALLY, AMERICAS INVOLVEMENT….THE IDEA OF AFGHANISTAN A SINGLE NATION WITH A SINGLE IDENTITY IS A NEW, AND APPARENTLY UNDERDEVELOPED BELIEF…. LOYATIES ARE FELT FOR TRIBE FIRST…. LOYALTY TO A NATION HAS, IN THE PAST, BEEN OF SECONDARY CONSCERN. WHEN WE LEAVE, THEY WILL JUST AIM AT EACH OTHER AND CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

UNLESS YOU WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH A HUNDRED DIFFERANT LOCAL NEBOBS FOR A HUNDRED SPERATE PEACE AGREEMENTS, DON’T TRY TO CONQUOR A TRIBAL REQION. THESE PEOPLE FIGHT. “IT IS BETTER THAN WORKING FOR A LIVING!”….
