Shut up Sean.
Just chatted with an American citizen I know who's parents are from Afghanistan. Asked if Afghans are fearful of the Taliban. He said urban people are less likely to support the Taliban than rural people, and about 50% of the rural people do support them. Said people are thankful there was not much bloodshed in this process and feel that though some freedoms will be lost, the stability (no war) is something most are willing to live with. He said they have lived through worse and are not easily shaken. Though they are not necessarily happy about this, neither are they shaken.
My takeaway: Perhaps Afghanistan for Afghans (local nationalism) is not a bad idea.
