Of course, in my opinion, the Taleban themselves committed crimes by attacking people who didn't comply with fashions demanded by the Taleban, such as beard length, clothing etc. You mean like these scenes? rawa.fancymarketing.net Before the Soviets really stuck their noses in Afghanistan (prior to the coups d'etat staged in 1973 and 1978) the country really was relatively free of crime and was undergoing modernization. I believe there's enough international focus on Afghanistan this time that the chaos that reigned after the USSR pulled out will not repeat itself. Who really knew anything about Afghanistan at the time of the Russian retreat? It was a forgotten war. Yet some 1.5 millions were left dead in the wake of the conflict the USSR. Dostum is a Russian creation, and due to his ethnic origins probably doesn't have any real chance for an important place in the government when the dust settles.
