Are the Taliban so strong that the Afghan people do not stand up to them? I don't understand how they have such an awful hold on the people and continue to terrorize them. Are the Afgan people just overpowere? Do many of them support the Taliban and their cruelties? Everyday so many dead, when will the deaths exceed the births and there will be no more?
In Afghanistan, the police are often more corrupt than the Taliban. And the warlords are certainly more corrupt.
As to Afghan people standing up to massively armed combatants (Taliban, warlords or NATO) - no, that is not possible, just like it was not possible for the children and teachers of Sandy Hook to stand up to a massively armed man intent on killing them.
Please note in the USA how many uniformed (and armed) police officers are killed on duty. They are killed by someone shooting a gun, and even with a gun to use in defense, they are often killed. Four US police officers have been killed in the last 10 days, along with 2 firefighters.
Are the criminals so strong that the US police do not stand up to them?
Surely you are joking.
