Here was my friend Mike's take on that article:
"The writer doesn't mention what s/he expects moving
ground troops into Afghanistan is going to accomplish.
Judging from Viet Nam and Somalia, a lot of senseless
deaths of young American soldiers would be the end
result.
"Freeze their assests. That's the fastest, most humane
way to close these goons down. If we have to send in
ground troops, send in NATO troops and have them
disperse food and clothing."
Further on the program I saw this morning, when I saw the Afghani people
mourning the death of their resistance leader, I felt that it would be very
tragic if any of them came to harm.
