Salute!

To be honest, the religious fanatics do not need lottsa $$$. They just need a fair share of the male populace on their side and a lotta AK's.

I do not see how they can run the airport or most anything else without outside help. Their admin prowess got an "F" back in the 90's and after 9/11. It will be the same in the next year or so.

Their concept of "wealth" and such is foreign to most of us on these forums. Power? Yeah. But basic admin competence for a semi-civilized group of people is gonna need help, and they proved this 35 years ago when the Russians left.

I feel sad, as I had one really neat Afghan student at Air University ( transport pilot) . I did not realize what the situation was in the 'stan then ( 1978 - 1979), and was BZ trying to get my F-16 assignment.
