this power vacuum had been said before the OP:IF, and now it all started again... this will never end... this happen also in Afghanistan which still has US presense.... atleast the talibans are still kept at bay.... but for how long... there will always be power vacuum aslong as there are people who will take advantage to it... with not-so-similar event but talks about power vacuum from different timeline, on Operation Foxley british canceled the plan to assasinate the furor in fear that it may create a power vacuum and he will only be replaced with more tough leader then the war of europe could have been lost...

in any war its always the civilian that is the victim, and besides soldiers are also civilian with mandate

Of course we were speaking in terms of peacetime and not conventional warfare where there are two or more opposing combatants. Ako rang gipasabot ni boss @DEMONOCIETY nga these cowards will usually go after targets that are less likely to be able to resist like convoys, or civilians--be it a suicide or conventional attack.

As far Afghanistan, the Taliban was there even before the U.S. went in. They will simply go back to their anachronistic hegemony but at least this time the Northern Alliance and other factions that oppose the Taliban are given a new lease on their conflict with them. Not saying that they are the good guys, but at least they're not the Taliban. They will simply go back to being a loose confederation of tribes and villages which may or may not have associations with the Taliban or NA, with no central power to keep them together. It will be similar when the Soviets pulled out of the same country about 30 years ago. There really was no head honcho to begin with. Sa Iraq man gud, they took the central power figure, who btw has been the despot for 20 something years, that kept everything in check, and replaced it with an incompetent pseudo-power figure that can easily be replaced by another force.
