23. And how do you suggest solving that problem, by killing them?

My point is simple, to have peace we need the support of the Afghan Peasants. To get that support we have to give them what they want. The Alternative is Genocide. Which do you support? It is an unpleasant choice, but one we have to make and will make sooner or later (and Genocide is NOT a real option).

Thus sooner or later we have to accept what these peasants want. That is what Pakistan did to its part of the same people on its side of the border (and what the British did in the same area when Britain ruled India and Pakistan) and even Stalin did when he was ruler of Russia and had the greatest say in Afghan politics.
