At worst, I thought he may return to Pakistan with red face. The actual outcome is an indication of the dire desperate predicament the Talebans are in. What happened to such a national legendary hero is utmost despicable deed, specially for that society. By that act, Talebans have performed treason to Islamic principles. I have no doubt that 95% of Afghan and Pakistan Moslems feel the same way. I believe this was a bad mistake by the Talebans. It may buy Talebans a little more present time, but psychologically it has eroded their support within Afghanistan and it will bring forth larger number of defections later on. Furthermore, such deed by itself should be adequate cause for continued effort by the US/British alliance forces during Ramadhan. I also have no doubt that most Afghans wish it continues and get their miserable life condition out into the past as soon as possible.
