like, i know the track record is bad, like really bad.

but maybe, just maybe, the Taliban is sick of all the bloodshed too.

i'm sure there are parts i'm missing because i'm NOT well versed on the particulars, and i know there's been accounts of the Taliban "hunting" for certain folks.

but, like, in the long term...and maybe this is just me being an optimist/positive thinker type...maybe the Taliban can actually form a functioning government that the people are willing to live under w/out feeling like they are FORCED to live under it, and that other countries can deal w/ reasonably and vice versa.

i don't know - shit just gotta change man. at some point it has to change.
