And waving our red weapons o'er our heads
Let's all cry 'Peace, Freedom, Liberty!'

Narchitecture in Afghanistan
Drug moguls are building personal palaces in areas of Afghanistan where people have no jobs. The US anti-narcotics cops have called it narchitecture but they are doing nothing about it. Karzai knows them all.
These ragtag bands are funded by opium profits and led by assorted religious extremists and druglords, many of whom have safe havens in Pakistan. We should go in there against them as well as fight them in Afghanistan.
There are extensive narco-jihadi-tribal guerrilla forces that the Western media continue to call the "Taliban." They are not going to be beaten in a conventional conflict, if you call the daily bombing of civilians (and police recently) conventional. To suggest escalating this mess, something you have in common with Obama and his new-found lackeys (Gordon Brown et al,)is the sheerest lunacy.
