One political movement can learn from another in the Muslim world.
It is sadder to observe some of those, who were formerly from what was deemed as the liberal left in Pakistan, arguing that the Taliban should not be pushed until the Americans are out.
Such an argument is made without recalling that the partnership between the liberal left and the extreme right in Iran was at the cost of the former. The left represented by Ali Shariati didn’t realise how fast it was taken over and swallowed by its partners.
Yes, what was the name of the prison where Marji said her beloved uncle was buried in a mass unmarked grave with all the other lefties?

Personally, I’d leave the crocodiles in the moat to help force Obama to his withdrawal timeline.
But that is just me.
The more the viability of the Afghan campaign declines in the electorate’s esteem, the sooner we can leave.
The more atrocity and gorror that falls on the unfortunate young american soldiers, the sooner we can gtfo.
Sadly, the enemy of your enemy is still a reaver, and there is no conversion of reavers back into to humans as far as i can tell.
