I wish the Afghan people peace but the future headlines will be 'Karzai fled the country with suitcases of cash and the Taliban took back Afghanistan.

Hope it works, but feels like the beginning of a another descent into chaos for them,.

Always a quagmire : The British Empire tried and failed, The Soviet empire tried and failed, The US Empire tried and failed as well.

Depends on how much the Afghans want to have a peaceful country. There were very small and few villages that kept the Taliban and others of their ilk out due to the sheer mentality of, "We're not putting up with this bs, so we'll take you out if you try..." And they're still doing fine. If the rest of the country became like that then there would be no way for the Taliban or any other extremist group to gain a foothold if they're made to know that they'll be killed on sight if they blink wrong.

I really wish the Afghan peoples well, and I pray that the Taliban can find some peaceful way of blending in to the new Afghanistan and making it a better place.

PS Killing Hazaras, ie Ethnic Cleansing, is a BIG no-no.
