Taliban is again on the rise
This article shows a good example of the social control that terrorists exercise over the areas around them. "The assault on one of the city's best-protected landmarks was the latest — and most dramatic — sign that the Taliban may be gaining strength more than six years after U.S.-led forces invaded to drive the Islamist militant movement from power." With the attack of these high profile targets in the local community the locals are scared of what could happen to them so even though we may be beating them back they have the social control still to the point where even beggars are distrusted "security fears have become so intense that he even shoos away beggars out of fear they could be wearing suicide vests". This leads to an open question after six years of battling the Taliban we apparently have not completely succeeded so What does it take to completely eliminate or beat a terrorist organization ?
