I've flown over Afghanistan a few times. It's amazing how desolate it is - the tiniest strips of green along the valleys and barren desert mountains between. Tiny ancient villages which are like one block of clustered houses. I think the NE region might be better I had had a different impression after reading "A Walk in the Hindu Kush" for example. It is recognized as the poorest place on Earth well maybe together with Sierra Leone- life expectancy around 40. I always tell people who go on about human rights under the Taliban that the education of women is the least of their problems. Place is scattered with landmines still... Only heard one media person (on Radio Australia) make the connection between the assasaination of Massood and the attack on the US, but it seems a strange coincidence otherwise. Both suicide attacks. Northern Alliance fired a few missiles at Kabul yesterday so I wouldn't say they are dead. David
