News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

Are the Taliban getting stronger there?.

definitely

Its hard to say. They don't have any moral support of masses in general. Their tactics are threat based. For example, one day some shopkeepers in a multimedia market would get a message to close down their businesses or face the consequences. If they don't comply, they would blow up a shop or two and make their point. So I would say that their tactics are threat based which are not likely to win any hearts and minds. Besides Pakistan is worlds 5th largest country with such a huge level of diversity that its painful.....really. To control such a massive population with threat alone is not likely going to work.

but building madrasas surely works for them in the long run.

afghan taleban, pakistani taleban

not really. it is the influence from afghanistan that is taking hold in NW pakistan.

Where does the money come from?.

ah, that is where obl comes in. there billions of $ coming from ksa towards this cause.

You can't be sure, so why don't try that out ? They cut off heads of our people and we should do what ? Give them more candies ? Let's take away some heads and play football. We will see then how brave and fearless they are.

more western heads will roll. that is not the civilized way to go greg. we have to stand above that otherwise we have no moral ground and we become just like the. al qaeda wins.

A simple straight forward and widely accepted answer would be drug money.

but obviously not true as talibs are against narco markets.

I am guessing, is heroin the main crop?.

yes but again, not a talib thing. others yes, but not taliban.

the biggest chunk of their GDP.

nope. ksa fundaising is

History / Any apologies about Sikorski's 'murder'? [95]

I do, the guy goes out of his way to smear all things polish in shit, i'm curious as to why ? Maybe a Pole got his job ? A polish girl denied him ?

because it may be good for you to see that poland isn't all that? just a though.

Probably because Britain did help Poland. Britain didn't just stab her ally in the back and steal half her country (as Poland had done to her ally in the war she had most recently fought).

what? who? sorry but no go on the english help. when england finally decided that it ought to then the americans didn't help.

History / What Krakow and Detroit, Michigan have in common? (Tadeusz Kościuszko) [6]

The vast majority of americans doesnt know that West Point academy was created by Kosciuszko

nope, you seem to not know either. west point academy started in 1802 while kościuszko was back in PL and not usa. however he did oversee the building of the garrison there in 1778. west point is also in NY not MI.

the other part of your statement is also racist as hell. there is no need for that.
