Hi all; I wonder how Noam Chomsky is accepting the concept that the people the US has been heartlessly bombing are now chanting "Long Live America" in the streets of Kabul: Freedom, joy - and fear James Meek, Kabul, Guardian International, November 14, 2001 The children were flying kites in Kabul yesterday, little squares of homemade paper, one of them dancing in the thin breeze over the derelict hulk of the headquarters of the Taliban's religious police. When the children had gone to bed the night before, kites were a forbidden joy. When they got up, the kite-haters had vanished. ... Closer to the capital there were dead Taliban on the roads and children shouted: "Long live America!" ... As Qanuni was speaking a lorry drove past the gates of the base, a cheering mound of humanity swaying from it to the deafening beat of Indian music. A silver stream of bicycles followed, the heads of the riders lifted and happy. Yesterday was too early for the people of Kabul to anticipate the souring of liberation. guardian.co.uk -- Carl
