Those guys are worth listening to. Hamid Karzai is one of the leaders of the tribe, consisting of 500 thousand people; he has the significant authority among the Pashtun tribes. Karzai is considered to be the right hand of the former Afghani King Mohammad Zaher Shah. At the end of October Karzai came back to Afghanistan , where he continued working on the unification of the anti-Taliban forces. The unification of the Pashtun tribes to struggle with the Taliban is not likely to happen – the Talibs know it. The Taliban has always tried to run the reasonable policy towards the Pashtun tribes during their ruling time. The ruling Afghan movement was planning to use the Pashtun tribes in case, if the ground operation starts, which is 60% of the country’s population. Those people have good battle experience: neither Soviet Union or Great Britain could cope with them. The anti-Taliban coalition agrees if the Pashtun tribes take a neutral position. A very significant NEWS item and we have this link. english.pravda.ru Thanks. pearly.

"The fall of Mazar-e Sharif may persuade Afghan warlords, who have a long history of switching to the winning side, to foresee the war's outcome and actively throw their support behind the Northern Alliance and fellow opposition forces." cnn.com Climber
