Along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border Nato forces have teamed up with some of the super tribes from the Shinwari tribe. This super tribe is made up of 170 elderly members that are against the Taliban and Al-Queda fighters. This group publicly announced that they would burn down the home of anyone that is sheltering the these terroist groups. Doing so put them into great danger because the Taliban can now come find and kill them. The U.S. is giving this group great support on the hopes of other groups like this will stand up to the Taliban and help keep the foreign fighters out of the area. This could be a crucial spot to get rid of the fighters because of its location on the border.
I think that this group is doing a brave act against the Taliban. No other groups have had the courage to stand up against them because of powerfully armed the fighters can be. If many of the other groups around the area could do the same thing in no time the fighters would be out the area and give this place a chance to strive. The U.S. should give its full support to help this group out in anyway it can.
