[QUOTE="Nithavela, post: 76179724, member: 185184"] You don't think the taliban will need money? Of course they'll continue opium production, they'll just have to deal with less opposition. They'll just forbid the consumption in their own country (don't get high from your own supply) Not only did the population size double, but 60 % of afghanistan people are under 24, and thus only remember a post-taliban life. It will be hard for the Taliban to continue surpressing that memory. The mere fact that there were demonstrations against taliban rule, which remind me personally of belarus and hong kong, are proof enough of that. It will only be a matter of time before those people put away the flags and grab the guns, and then it's civil war again. The Taliban have very little interest in India, and Afghanistan has very little power to project in that direction. As if that was in any question. Personally I think that not willing to die for an abstract cause is a good thing. There was never any more than a token effort to nation build in Afghanistan. We'll see how that changes. [/QUOTE]
