Salute!
Not sure who the "we" or the "they" are.....
Mao had a good explanation of the guerrilla tactics in his Little Red Book, and Uncle Ho's folks did a good job versus the French about 6 years later. Another five years go by, and this dude in Cuba pulls off a coup.
As the op ed piece I posted earlier points out, the 'stan is an arbitrary group of lines on a map. I must admit that most humans within those lines have much in common as far as physical appearance and genetic attributes, but about the only unifying thing there is a certain religion, and even it has two strong different sects.
There is no "common" foe nor desire to form a union as we saw here in the colonies except one...
The villages and families just want to be left alone.
But unlike we colonists, mostly from Europe, the Taliban would wish to impose a heinous social existence on all of them in the name of he who cannot be mentioned. One of our fundamental tennants was that the government or anyone else should not force religious practices upon the whole of the populace. After all, many of us migrated here to escape religious persecution. So no establishment of a national religion has been a biggie in the U.S. since 1787.
