Seems to be a major problem in using that scenario as an analogy for the current Afghan / Taliban situation. 1. The Taliban seems to be hated and feared by the vast majority of the Afghan people. 2. The taliban doesn't appear to command much more respect in any other Islamic nation. 3. Neither the Taliban nor Al Quaeda<sp???> appear to have anything wanted by the people of Afghanistan: Religion(replaced Islam with intolerance and hatred), Family relationships (children confiscated and brainwashed in taliban schools), core cultural values (support of terrorism, genocide) ... Somehow, I doubt that the people in the region have many of the concerns that you point out in your last message. Ian
