WHAT THE US IS GOING TO DISCOVER IS THAT THESE AREAS HAVE DEEP CULTURES THAT ARE CENTURIES OLD...AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE QUICKLY...IF AT ALL...
AND CERTAINLY NOT AT THE POINT OF A GUN...
NATO IS ESSENTIALLY FIGHTING THE SOUTHERN AFGHAN PEOPLE...WHO ARE THE TALIBAN... THE SITUATION IN THE PAKISTAN WESTERN TERRITORIES IS POORLY UNDERSTOOD IN THE US... THERE IS NO BORDER FOR THE PASHTUNS BETWEEN AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN...
IT'S ALL ONE PASHTUN HOMELAND...AND ONE CULTURE...THAT IS VERY ANCIENT.
