These are the Pashtun tribesmen who are the primary recruits of the Taliban in fighting our troops.
After 10 years, they still have no idea why our troops came to Af-Pak.
Even the translators and police who work with us know almost nothing of 9/11 and what Bin Laden did.
Holding elections and telling them to go back to their mud huts and caves and things will be wonderful is ridiculous. Can someone explain this whole nation building thing to me again? [I posted this over at LP, thought I'd share it here as well.]
