I read the whole article in it's entirety, here is my perspective on it (in case anyone actually cares).

On Tech's Writing

-I love Tech, I'm supportive of him, he is my Muslim brother.  I wish you success in your correspondence work.  I think your background, intelligence, and creativity will allow you to exceed others in your field.

-You were dealing with a complex subject, yet the article was clear, concise, and easy to read.  It was written intelligently, yet at the same time you did not try to overdo it by impressing people with an excess of esoteric verbal husk.

As for my perspective on the explanations and solutions offered by Tech in the article

-First we must recognize that big government projects don't ever work in the way it intends.  It always sets forth a high agenda and then fails to deliver because big government is a bureaucratic mess.  For example, these politicians push pencils in their offices and talk about ways to end the poppy trade, when what they really need to do is get out of it altogether.  It's like the drug war in America that has never worked.  Drug use is a victim less crime.  When the government gets involved that's when drug trade becomes dangerous; in the same way that alcohol trading became dangerous during the prohibition era in America. 

-On the one hand Tech admits that the Taliban provided security to Afganistan, and that there was an oppurtunity for negotiations both inside and outside find solutions to problems that will surely arise no matter who is in charge of the country.  So therefore, it's obvious that the Taliban government should have never been dismantled by the United States in the first place.  Tech acts surprised that the United States big government program for the region didn't work, but it has never worked, not now, and not in the past.  if the United States feared an attack from Bin Laden, the Taliban declared openly that they were willing to give up Usama Bin Laden, all that they asked for was that Bush produced the evidence that he was behind the attacks.  And absolutely no attempt was made to provide any evidence, because King Bush said he's guilty, he must be guilty, end of story.

-Next, again, Tech is calling for all these big government programs to have meetings amongst tribes, and between the border regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan regularly amongst the people.   And on and on and on.  And so what your saying is that some government is going to go there and force these people to meet once a week and sit down and have a potluck dinner meeting a discuss how to solve their problems.  I make the same point once again, no BIG GOVERNMENT can make them do that.  These people can join together on their own, possibly in the name of Islam, but as long as you have to force them to attend some meeting at the barrel of a gun because the US or the United Nation (which is basically the same thing) says they have to, it's not going to work.

-Finally, the solution is simple.  Get the United States out.  Get the United Nations out.  Let the people living in these regions decide their own destiny.  That is the only solution.  Otherwise, you have another Big Government program thinking it is going to force people to do things they don't want, and which are often against their own interest, and it looks good on paper but never works. 

 

J @ M @ L:
Sick ass article bro. Props to you kosskhor.

...and one more point, even if all of Tech's solutions were agreed upon, they would fail in the implementation process.  This kind of stuff sounds good on paper, but no external force such as the United States or United Nations is going to force people to do things at the barrel of the gun.
