Although I disagree profoundly with my Pakhtun brothers of Taliban in Afghanistan on account of their religious beliefs which clash with my secular outlook, however these men are the bravest of the brave. They are warriors. Holding a rusty AK-47, a RPG launcher and wearing chappels with a Pakol [a local headwear worn in Af-Pak region which resembles a beret] on their heads they took on the mighty Red Army and defeated it. Now after 20 years fighting US Army they have prevailed.
Tribal societies live with war everyday.
Its a matter of survival.
I mean this why we should just leave them alone. They dont need saving.
