>The Taliban had a ban on barbers doing the Titanic cut! hehehehh.....

Maybe the Taliban aren't so bad after all. In fact, if they banned that 
movie and that Celine Dione song, they can't be all bad.

Japan was completely defeated and had American occupation troops for five 
years. In fact, American troops are stationed in various naval and air 
bases all over Japan TO THIS DAY. Yokusuka naval base is only an hour 
south of Tokyo. 

Second, Japan was a modern industrialized country (maybe not socially or 
politically at the time upto MacArthurs constitution for them in 1946 or 
so), but in other ways. It was also amazing how docile they were when 
defeated - the same people that would have died to the last person to 
resist attack were harmless when told to accept defeat by the emperor. 
They are really a unique people. 

Afganistan is more like Somalia in my view - war lords, factions, famine, 
destruction, hatred. 

I think they should set up enclaves in friendly areas, get rid of the 
mines, help them start their farms and industry, rebuild. Then expand it. 
Anyone is welcome to come, but they have to turnover their weapons and 
live in peace. Then starve the rest out. They can decide to be hostile 
and dead, or start being civilized.
