IMO this sudden burst of emotional dialogues should be avoided like "THEY WILL NOT WIN". Talibans were always the underdogs and bound to lose and this is somethign what they would've said instead.
Media is just trying to reignite American passion against Taliban. Remember they need an enemy. Taliban come from the Pashtuns. Talibanism is an ideology. Kill the ideology and the Pashtuns would stop becoming Taliban. Thats the way to win.
You don't even know for sure what Mullah Omar looks like. The only big break you can get is by killing Mullah Omar and that won't kill an ideology either since some other Mullah would be there to give the idea.
You might think that it can't be done, but just compare NWFP with the Pashtun provinces in Afghanistan. You'd see a whole cultural difference amongst them. NWFP has a lot of urban people busy with work, trade and education.
I look at it this way. I have an idea, and the Mullahs have an idea. If my idea is better, I should be able to convince the people that my idea's better.
Pulling out of Afghanistan isn't an option. Breaking hell loose isn't one either. Pump troops in numbers of 10s of thousands. Occupy territory. Dry them out for now and allow the movers n shakers of Afghanistan to make some changes. There are SOOO many afghanis who fled to America in the 80's. So there must be a whole bunch of educated ones over there. Bring the brain power back.
