"The Afghan tribes have an uninterrupted record of success in
resisting the foreign invader- Genghis Khan, the Persians, the British
in Winston Churchill's day as a subaltern, the Soviets and now NATO."

This is a falacious claim, since "Afghan tribes" have shifted in and
out of Afghanistan for centuries themselves. The fact is that groups
come and go. And some forces have no intention of sticking around
forever anyway. NATO is not there with any intention of staying
forever. All they want to do is try to generate a new mentality and
suppress the hatred that is being directed their way. The trouble is
that these aggressive Afghans will again get their chance to hit NATO
again in its own backyard as they try to generate the same chaos and
oppression that reigns in Afghanistan.

Jihad is glorious, but don't you dare try a crusade.
