I would advise you to form your own opinion, possibly by looking at what he says and does, if you just accept what you're told and then let that decide how you understand his work you will be getting things backwards.
In fact this is a good way to think in general, not just when @craner is involved.

firstly, i really don't think i've gotten enough credit for my predictions of government collapse earlier in this thread. other forums would give me some kind of badge to display. i'm thinking of leaving actually to ply my trade on the man united forum. or a girlfriend.
i don't think it bought anything. there were some gains. but the basic fact of what went on in this 20 year period (between the old taliban government and whatever is coming into being now) is that the country experienced a long, violent conflict, in which the UK/US/NATO/government of Afghanistan was one side. so the invasion bought some seriously negative consequences, and anything else has to be weighed up against not only the huge number of civilian casualties, but also the huge number of afghan army causalities and importantly the huge number of taliban casualties. not to mention all the other consequences of the conflict, such as the absolute fear that was involved in living in Kabul for everyone who was there, all the UK lads who have to deal with the consequences of experiencing the war in Helmand, their families, the same for the americans, the same for all the Nepali security guards who worked in the country, how it must have felt to live in fear of drone strikes at any moment, all the people who got hit by IEDs or airstrikes while trying to farm their land, all of the torture in taliban prisons, in bagram, in guantanamo, the people killed by car bombs on vollyball games, all the assassinations of mullahs, tribal elders....and so on and so forth. the last twenty years have been for most people involved absolutely horrible, I would say. we tend to hear the most from the voices in the cities, from people who are basically more similar to us. the experience of your average woman or man in kunar or wherever is a different thing.
i think in terms of it being an interregnum, we have to see what comes next. i'm not that confident that what we are going to see is unified taliban rule. no-one knows the answer to this question but this could be a short period which will soon evolve into another phase of the civil war which has basically been going on for 39 years. if we do see a real taliban government that does control the country, then we will see what kind of policies they have.
