Alliance ride into Kabul as Taleban flee FROM ANTHONY LOYD, 15 MILES FROM KABUL “THE lines are breaking. They’re fleeing. Don’t let them escape,” yelled General Gul Haider into a handset as mortar bombs were launched from behind him and attack jets screamed in overhead. From the breach at Mashine Aab a desperate, panting voice called back: “I need another 50 Mujahidin here now . . .” The general, his wooden right leg stuck out stiffly before him, turned and waved on a group held in reserve behind him. In no time nearly 100 Mujahidin, screaming and yelling with jubilation, raced forward to the breach in the line. “See you at the gates of Kabul,” one turned back and shouted. By dawn today, they were there. The last Taleban forces had deserted the capital and the first Northern Alliance troops had defied pleas not to take the city and ridden into the city in their Jeeps and 4x4s. The routed Taleban fighters had been forced back by a series of stunning opposition victories and at Karabach yesterday afternoon, their defences finally melted. Most ran; some surrendered and lived; others tried to surrender and died. Some fought on and died among the wilted vines of abandoned farms. As the Mujahidin vanguard consolidated their breach, thousands more troops followed them through the gap. They moved by whatever means they could: hanging from tanks, trucks and Jeeps, or running forward in jubilant columns. They entered a wilderness matched by few battlefields in the past century; a wilderness that has been fought over continuously for six years and is still littered with debris from the Soviet occupation; a wilderness where American airstrikes have left lunar-sized craters amid the shattered trees, gutted villages and drought-bleached desolation. As the tanks and men poured through, the roadside images were fittingly bleak: a one-legged Mujahidin hopping desperately to keep up with his comrades; a wounded soldier kneeling immobile in the dirt, where his friends had left him, a spreading scarlet stain seeping through the fingers clutching his belly; Taleban dead being mauled and looted; prisoners being slapped and abused; two soldiers praying. It was not glorious, nor was it unusually ugly. It was no more, no less, than a spectre of men in war.

WE are Right Dreamer! Though I may walk the earth in my waking hours as a simple laborer in my Dreams I can touch upon the souls of All and feel with their hearts and their feelings, I Hope <GG>. It Sounds good anyway. In a way it brought a tear to my eye Hoping that it would come True. I Hope that it does the same for anyone who reads it as then they are also in Tune with what should be the Right outcome from this War. We should come in and leave with only prosperity to follow for those that are left behind. That is the hardest thing to foresee. Will the Wells be Full and Overflowing? We offered help to repel the Soviets when they were intent on overtaking Afghanistan and now we have the Soviets as our allies in overtaking the Taliban. Powell is now in talks at this minute as to how to deal with the requests of the surrounding nations. What will be the outcome of that? Only time will tell. I Still Believe that we are doing the Right thing. Whether or not the Dream is confirming the effort or the outcome will have to be seen. It is a fine line to walk when you try to save a people from what they have come to Believe is their Religion. I am Hoping that We are the Angels. Only Time will tell if All of the Prayers of the World can help Afghanistan. A Prayer can be a Very Powerful thing, much more than a Dream. I Pray for the people of Afghanistan and Wish them Freedom and Prosperity. Now If I can just get the Rest of the World to Pray also we might just have something <GG>. Take Care Dreamer! Sincerely, Bob :^)
