>>>> War on Afghanistan...

Latest comments from your correspondent abroad....

The United States of Mid-North America seem to have managed what the Taliban was unable to do, that is unite all their fractious parties and provide them with a common Goal: fight the "Great Satan"...

In fact, a good portion of Muslim World may soon support their Taliban Brothers, in spirit and even deeds, as shown by the approximately 100,000 Pakistanis on their way to join the 45,000 Taliban fighters for the "Holy War" against 25,000 fighters for the Northern Alliance and the planned deployment of some 300 US Rangers...

In the recent past, Taliban was willing to release bin Laden and his top aids for trial in a third non-aligned country - Switzerland comes to mind - presumably under similar Laws used for Milosevic... But the "we'll smok'em out, NO Negotiations" Crusader wasn't interested to hear about it... If that option is still available, he may well have to use it, as historically, Afghanistan has never been defeated and it has never been so well armed and determined...

By the time the Ramadan comes around, it's to be hoped that the Crusader-in-Chief will have understood that it's a NO-Win situation for the US and swallow his pride... While, we object to the way the Taliban treats its women, it's really none of our business... If the training camps are destroyed and remain so and the top management of Al Qaeda surrendered for Trial, most of the objectives of the US would have been achieved...

A good thing about the Taliban: they had recently declared illegal the growing of poppies for the Heroin drug trade and one can only guess how savagely this would be enforced...
