Several bloggers have noted the stories that Taliban fighters, after three long years of ducking and running, are about ready to lay down their arms and become responsible citizens in a the world’s newest democracy.

Whether or not exhaustion gets the credit, US and Afghan military have captured two high value targets, including Mullah Omar’s personal security chief.

With these arrests, perhaps we’ll finally nab Omar. My guess is that, if he knows anything about Bin Laden’s whereabouts, he’ll sing.
