I guess we should not make the mistake to call this "They do not want democracy". The majority of Afghans had no education, no chance to learn/think/reflect about democracy - most of them are indoctrinated from birth by fanatics or feudal "elders".
It is a complete other story what are the costs, in human lives, money and resources to change this. So it would be better to call this "We are not ready to pay the price to change such a system" - without any intention to judge this concerning morality....

I think its just a change of tactics, and I wouldnt want to be in the Talebans place, because they have been left behind to laugh themselves to death about the West.

Yes Taliban got some state of the art weapon and weapon system.
Do they know how to use it ? To use some of these require training and exercise to master. I think most of these weapon system will be left where they stand. Markus

Í would not be surprised if they manage to employ them. We tend to forget that as in all totalitarian regimes, those in charge have no problem getting *themselves* educated.
