Re: They don't REALLY wanna fight, Phil . . .
This is a feudalistic community, and a civil war that has been going on at least since the USSR pulled out. The people they shoot at were their allies yesterday, and might be again tomorrow. It's play-acting. If either side was serious at all, it would have been over years ago.
Now, the Northern Alliance wants the U.S. to lead them to victory.
What's in it for us? Osoma bin Laden? The al Qaeda? The collapse of the Taliban? With or without the Northern Alliance, these will be our victories.
