WSJ Editors, Regarding your story
“Taliban Now Winning”
I have commented about this with respect to other stories I’ve read: can anyone tell us the number of “insurgents” American and other military are fighting in Afghanistan? Are they all Taliban?
Where do they get their weapons and supplies, and why do we have difficulty cutting those off?
And $4 billion seems like an enormous amount to be spending over there – what is that money going to?
And how does our occupation compare to what the Soviets did there in the 1980s?
