Stardate 20011209.1332 (On Screen): The southern warlords in Afghanistan have been much more willing to outright fight each other for local power than have the warlords from the Northern Alliance. I think a lot of the reason is that the Northern Alliance existed for years. Those warlords may not like each other but they're used to working together. Those in the south, on the other hand, came out of nowhere just a few weeks ago, and have little experience dealing with each other. Still, with word that the dispute over Kandahar is settled, it's good to know that maybe they won't collapse into full-scale intertribal war there.
