Taliban puts the Haqqani network in charge of security in Kabul

[Shrink726]

Maybe not the best idea in the world.

Anyone else reminded of the Rolling Stones bringing in the Hell's Angels to do security at Altamont?

That didn't work out so well either.

Poor comparison but I get the point.

But probably the best solution at the moment.

I wonder what it would take for much of the country to learn the actual history of the radical right-wing Islamic movements, that were built for decades by the west as a way to defeat the moderate nationalist leaders and be an anti-communist force? You never see the media tell the truth about that history that I can recall. So nearly everyone thinks it all comes from 'over there and them' and has nothing to do with us.
