That is a great piece, E. Thanks. I believe this is the Jamie Rubin who is married to CNN's Christiane Amanpour, BTW. I found this paragraph to be particularly well-considered: To ensure that the Taliban remains an outcast of the Muslim world - as it now is - the coalition must take enormous care to minimise civilian casualties. Moreover, it should establish safe areas for the hundreds of thousand of refugees who may flee and for displaced persons inside Afghanistan that may be at risk. This is vital if Washington is to make clear to the Afghan people that they are not the enemy. To bolster this point, the world must take unprecedented steps to provide basic humanitarian supplies to those innocent Afghans caught up in the legitimate effort to liberate their country from Taliban rule. This humanitarian task could be accomplished in a co-ordinated effort by several countries - particularly Muslim countries - not wanting to participate in direct military action. I hope thames sider reads this!
