2. Religious "taxes"that must be paid.
3. Fiery sermons in mosques attacking Karzai and international forces.
4. Roadside bombings and drive-by shootings.
These are the types of threats that prompt villagers in northern regions of Afghanistan to reluctantly comply with the Taliban. These are the tactics utilized by this militia to garner support of the people in Afghanistan and eleswhere.
The Taliban will overrun Afghanistan if international troops pull out, according to what former Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah stated on Monday.
Abdullah's comments came a day after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the U.S. was "not interested in staying in Afghanistan" and that America had "no long-term stake there."
Perhaps America has no stake there. If terror is acceptable there then perhaps it is acceptable everywhere.
