Yes , we all know what the CIA did many years ago , and the reasons for it but you are not offering a comment to my question now , of the removal of the Taleban from power today ? WE can discuss the Bay of Pigs here too, but no longer relevant , seems this living in the past is what most of these arguments are over , but the real threat today remains clear. I assume your brother and you have been following Afghanistan of today?

I do understand where the Islamic Fundamentalist are coming from very clearly , and one doesn't see many answers to the modern pan~arab problems which a wide and diverse interpretation of the sharia has offered to these countries so far . On the contrary , the conflicts and differences between all the various interretations of Islamic law has driven wedges and endless conflicts between these "Muslims" already for centuries . As did the wars in Christianity before, till finally reason and modern thinking prevailed , and religion was seperated from the state. Islam has no problems making war on itself I assure you , and dragging us all into it's morass with it.

Thank you --->I will look up recent writings by Benard Lewis...

I suggest you also read some of ---> Fouad Ajami's
writings and commentaries as well...he's a professor at John's Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and
is author of "The Dream Palace of the Arabs" .

regards

Mars
