Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Unrelated but this is how I picture Googer:

And then you're sitting in the international bed, apologizing over your premature ejaculation of justice. "It happens to every country!"

I'm still King of America. Nobody recognizes me, however.

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

It's the finest in guerrilla engineering.

Taliban's reign was destined to be shirt lived. And he, it didn't even conquer the entirety of Afghanistan. It just temporarily kept people in line by being so unimaginatively brutal that nobody knew how to react. Trying to unify the 'stan with anything less than that, like mellow liberal democracy, isn't going to work.

I think I get credit for introducing Herbert.

Things can change, but we've been trying to change them for years. Afghanistan: 1979-1989. The USSR tried to do the same thing we did. They failed. Things got worse. 2001-2014: we didn't fuck it up as badly as the Sovs but we're not on the road that you say Afghanistan is. It takes more than 25 years to change a nation from what it is now to what you say it is. It's downright silly. America took about a hundred years from determining that black people were actual people to actually letting them vote. This was a hundred years and a far cry from rebuilding a nation's political culture from the ground up, from literally a loosely organized formation of tribes (hell, the current tribal assembly can't agree on anything at all) to a functioning nation. At this point, the pysche for a lot of them is "That dude over the next hill speaks Dari. We speak Pashto. He is the enemy. We must kill him and take his things."

It takes a lot longer than 25 years to change that.

Pfft, Afghanistan's not getting stable anytime soon. As soon as the US leaves, it'll be even more of a shithole again as the warlords start to kill each other without foreign interference. Afghanistan's been the same way for thousands of years and thirty isn't going to change any. They're not going to be nearly stable enough for this.

ISAF is pushing a stable, Kabul government. Afghanistan does not want a Kabul government. Afghanistan will reject it like a body rejects foreign implants and do what it's always done. Plus, the military isn't going to be on par with what you envision. It's 2014 and a lot of their officers can't even read and write, for example.

I do that as well, often in schoolwork.

Dammit, Vilage.
