#4 A vote for "bandits." A good description of most of the planet's current enemies of order and civilization, be they FARQuistas or provos or taliban or Putin's men or Government Sachs thieves or .... |

#3 I vote for either taqfiri or bandits. The latter is what the Taliban were called back in the British empire days, I believe. |

#2 I think he meant to say that we need a new label for the enemy, as "Taliban" basically means Muslims who are Afghan or Pushtun or Pakistani, but who are not "not-Taliban", whoever they are. |

#1 General, if you don't know who your enemy is, maybe it's time for you to go home. Usually your enemy is the one who is trying to kill you. Check out the direction of the fire. |
