Here's a question

[lordsummerisle]

How does one identify a Taliban as opposed to an ordinary Afghan citizen? Is there some uniform they wear?

1. Flags on a truck raised up, with really big wheels

and gun racks?

3. Have they started "rolling coal" yet?

2. You can't Tell the difference...

and that's exactly the same problem we had in Viet Nam.

Guerrilla warfare is damn near impossible to defeat.

Can you imagine a foreign force trying to defeat all of the guns and rednecks (I'd join them) in Idaho, Montana, N & S Dakota, Texas...you get the picture.

When you can't tell the good guys from the bad guys, what do you do? Kill them all? and remember, many of them are children and women.

4. They generally dress in traditional garb, cover their head, and have long beards

Look at the interviews with the Taliban that have been on the news, and then look at the photo of 800 people on our military plane.

A lot are in more Western clothes, a lot of the men's heads are uncovered, beards are trimmed, etc.

Of course this is not totally reliable by any stretch.

5. They often point their index finger skyward.

Where god lives.

6. AK strapped on.

It's a necessary accessory.
