9. What I mean is they are strongest now since we toppled them out of

the government in Afghanistan. But, Karzai's area of control is shrinking, and the Taliban is expanding. They are feared in the border/tribal regions, and they are controlling the commerce.

I don't want to see them back in power, but they can outlast us. I don't know the answer either.

We don't have the troops, even if we took many from Iraq, to beat the Taliban. It will be the next Vietnam, I am afraid.
