They are determined to make Afghanistan into an Islamic republic come hell or high water. It doesn't matter how long we stay. They will continue to pick at us for decades. The US cannot sustain this war forever either politically or financially. How many more years of US casualties before the Afghan army are able to keep the Taliban out? My guess is the army will crumble once we leave just like the ARVN did. The Taliban will not go quietly into the night.

If they passed a home where a woman or girl was laughing or singing in the privacy of her home, the Taliban and Al Qaeda would kill her. Of course the majority of Afghan people point to the Taliban. Because the Taliban want it their way and no other way. And if you are different in view or not Muslim enough in their eyes, then they will kill you. And the same thing with al Qaeda.
