You are so right Jen. They have to want freedom enough to take those risks. They must understand they can't be passive or they will backslide into another dictatorship perhaps an even "angrier" one.

AlphaChigirl, you do see the problem though. It still isn't a "given" that the Taliban have retreated vs regrouping. If the Pakistan, Taliban forces make it into Afghanistan, we could see the fighting regain momentum BUT if the citizens of Afghanistan start participating now, unrest may be containable until the new government is in place.
