#1 Those boys are scared to death of letting their womenfolk get educated.

#2 OK, now run an ARCLIGHT strike down through the middle of that school, and see how the "militants" like it. Explain to them - in Urdu, Pashto, and Arabic, so all of them can understand - that the same thing will happen to every school, district office, or household they "liberate". Napalm or Hellfire-zap 'em as they run away. That's what we did in Laos. An ARCLIGHT strike was the one thing the NVA was terrified of. The problem is, we didn't use them right. I'm sure I can come up with some more useful ideas this time, and so can several thousand other Vietnam vets. Just ask us.

#3 ARCLIGHT would scare 'em sure enough but I still think they're even more afraid of letting their womenfolk get educated. A woman gets it into her head that she's not a cow or a goat or a camel and you never know where that might lead.
