The goal of an insurgency is not to demonstrate that it is a superior alternative than the sitting government. The object is to make the existing government unstable, causing the people to lose the confidence. They use fear, pressure, and propaganda.

And that concludes our lesson on what the Congressional Republican leadership and the Taliban have in common.
