More to the point is that a long term period of chaos and turbulence causes the locals to be willing to open the door to the like of the Taliban,
Those who used to mindlessly chant commie propaganda now mindlessly chant islamist propaganda. Just as it was supposedly capitalist oppression and injustice that makes the oppressed masses supposedly warmly embrace their communist liberators, in the same way we infidels supposedly endlessly fight among ourselves. Supposedly that part of the world not under Islamic overlords is Dar Al-Harb (Abode of War), thus leading us to gladly submit to the peace provided by becoming second class citizens under islamic overlords. Dar Al-Islam (Abode of Islam) The violence of which you speak was not warlords fighting warlords, but the Taliban and its predecessor attacking men women and children, for example the shelling of Kabul. The relief that people expected to obtain by submitting to Taliban rule was not relief from fighting each other, but relief from indiscriminate Taliban attacks. --digsig James A.
