The Rules

Banning is easy. Actually formulating policies to handle geopolitics and develop the socioeconomy of a country is hard.

Reminds me of that Vice article about the Taliban being disillusioned by all the "office work" involved in running the country after they retook Afghanistan. It was almost laughable. Like a dog that caught the car only to discover that it wanted the chase more than the car itself.
