conservative estimates put the "extremist" muslims at 10% of all muslims.
of course seeing polls done in western countries where over a quarter support suicide bombings makes me think that is very conservative.
extremist groups have a very large base with which to draw people from. groups in afghanistan are a good draw for foreign fighters.
dealing with locals with is one thing...but then dealing with foreigners who have traveled far to fight for their religion is another matter.
the taliban can be stopped. the will to do what needs to be done to stop them efficiently does not exist. so its just managing them until afghanistan can deal with it themselves...pakistan has recently stepped up and are actually helping now, so thats good...
there is a threat. its clear and has been demonstrated.
