re: #149 Naso Tang

Breakaway? Why bother? That wouldn’t give them anything they have now, would it, and they don’t yet have where the nukes are.

Actually one of the nuke sites at least is in the frontiers. The Taliban are also marshalling a great deal of tribal nationalism to gain recruits, Pahktunkwa or whatever the Pashtun call it has been a dream of the more radical tribes like Baitullah Mehsud’s for a long time. In the end it’s all about temporal power for petty tribal warlords.
