I am inclined to agree with you in that the task is not likely to be a piece of cake. But, you know, hope ever springs eternal and, to be sure, many folks believe in the power of positive thinking! And so, while one is on the task, one has to think and act positively. Needless to say, the final outcome depends on many things. BTW, Nostradamus lost a lot a credibility when his "King of Terror from the Sky" did not strike on 7th day 7th month of 1999. But now folks say 9/11 was Nosty's prediction postponed by 2 months and 2 years come true! Oh well, there are interpretations and there are interpretations.

Taleban officials fleeing Afghanistan 03 October ISLAMABAD -- A large number of prominent Taleban officials have already fled Afghanistan, fearing reprisals should the Islamic militia be toppled from power, according to the Far Eastern Economic Review. An Islamic judge as well as senior officials in the militia's feared religious police have fled the Taleban stronghold of Kandahar, together with the city's mayor, the weekly magazine cited Afghan sources in the Pakistani city of Quetta as saying. Most of them have already arrived in Quetta, the Review reported in its latest issue, while some Taleban ministers have escaped to the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar. The same sources said the religious police had almost disappeared from the streets of the Afghan capital Kabul, apparently for fear of retribution from a civilian population they have 'harassed, jailed and beaten' for the past five years. In western Afghanistan, around the city of Herat, Taleban troops have deserted checkpoints along the border with Iran. 'In the west, the Taleban have all but disappeared,' the Review quoted Patricia Grossman, an American human rights advocate who is in contact with Afghans inside the country, as saying. -- AFP

Barrick to stay focused on gold, its president says. " The metals do have a more encouraging future than gold perhaps. A lot of people got excited about platinum and palladium, and we were too because we saw similarities to gold in terms of high margin and low cost and the ability to fix prices going forward," Randall Oliphant, Barrick's president and chief executive, told an industry show in Denver.
