Can’t tell your players without a program
An interesting New York Times article (courtesy of Yahoo) about who the “Northern Alliance” is, and who the other players in Afghanistan are that are being courted. I do worry, of course, that in our efforts to throw out the Taliban (who, frankly, regardless of whether they are bin Laden’s best friends or worst enemies, are eminently worth of being thrown out) that we’ll end up with yet another group perceived to be a US puppet and who turn out to be less-than-worthy rulers. Happened before, way too many times.
