I saw pictures today of an Afghan farmer who had part of his nose and ear cut off by the Taliban, for carrying a voting card. He said he was ambushed on his way to a voting station

With an enemy this brutal, and backed by opium money, is there any way to win even with overwhelming force? I get the feeling they (the Taliban) will melt away into the hillside, for however long it takes; only to return when we reduce our forces
