This video shows the human side of the Taliban. Although I still consider them evil, this video reminds us that the enemy is human too. This is the sad element of war. Both sides see there role as just and one side will ultimately fail. There still is a human element to war. That's why bombs and bullets alone do not win the struggle. There has to be belief in the people fighting and I think the Americans may be losing on this front. It's scary, I know, but this struggle is much deeper than we would like to acknowledge. We need to win the human element too. That's the hard part, convincing the Afghan people that our side is just. Especially when we are occupying their country...
