We keep being told that Al-Q sunk their own ship in Iraq because the citizens there got tired of their barbarity and turned to the Americans to partner with to drive them out of the country.

Why, then, haven’t the Afghans managed to do the same thing? They had Al-Q in residence *before* 9/11, along with the Taliban, and now Al-Q is swarming back into their country and we’re being told that the Taliban is at least as strong as it was 3 or 4 years ago. Doesn’t that mean that average Afghan citizens are not only putting up with their own home-grown Taliban, but are also welcoming back Al-Queda with open arms?

Does that, in turn, mean that either AlQueda isn’t as bloody towards the Afghans as they were towards the Iraqis, or does it mean that Afghans are even more barbaric than the Iraqi’s and don’t mind behind beheaded?

In other words, why hasn’t there been an Afghan Awakening, and (as I’ve asked before) are the Taliban and Al-Queda two totally different heads of the terrorism snake?
