In the case of Afghanistan, the Taliban are a creation of the fundamentalist Islamic 'Jihad" faction within Pakistan's ISI * and I would not be surprised if, once the purges and pogroms are done in Afghanistan, the conflict next moves back to the ideologically divided nation of Pakistan.At least in the Vietnam War the U.S. had the "deescalation excuse". That is North Vietnam was an ally of the Soviet Union so we didn't want to piss off the Soviets too much and risk a conflict with them.
It ain't over folks.
This is just the beginning and start of the next phase, expansion.
