The taliban are a bunch of uncivilized, uneducated, ignorant savages. The taliban were installed by bin laden for him to use as his base. He and Iraq give them the $$ and military support they need to stay in power - most Afghan people hate the taliban, and know that they're idiots.

The taliban have destabilized Afghanistan and made it the home of terorists. They are brutal, violent thugs.

I think the taliban and the Saudi Royal family need to work out thier own differences problems themselves. Why are they bombing the US?

Maybe if that dotcom-trading, CNBC addicted Saudi prince wants to help, he could do some diplomacy with the terrorists to resolve some of these intra-Arab problems.

These Arabs are all fighting with each other, and they always will. Some of them, the extremists, try to portray the US as the enemy.

The truth is, the US is a point of propaganda for the extremist Arab factions like the taliban and the Base as they try to build more support for themselves in the Arab world against their own Arab enemies (a.k.a., peaceful Arab moderates).

You won't see this truth in print many places because the various sides in this thing want to paint each other with a huge broad brush. but it's more complicated than that.

bin Laden and the taliban know the US is not really the main enemy- their main enemies are moderate Arab leaders who really can take Arab support away from them.
