Hi
I am against the Taliban too. I was merely speculating as to what I would do if I
were in the leadership of the Taliban. In that way I hope to get a better ideas as to
what is going on etc. I dont support either Taliban or Washington.

I do not care what Taliban have to do. I hope they disappear together with
imperialister. I cannot see any chance for an international movement in solidarity
with Taliban, in any case I ready to support progressive movements inside
Afghanistan(not West Alliance, of course!) to defeat Taliban regime right now. At
same time I am active in protests against U.S. & Co bombing on Afghanistan. I do not
accept Bush special logic :"with us or with Talibans), I am against Bush and Taliban
at same time.
To mix Guerilla in Latina America or even Argelia´s , is not only nonsense but also a
dangerous nonsense.
SOrry for my bad English I hope you may understand my point.
Regards/ Pablo
