I'll tell you one thing.... this should make my trip to India pretty interesting :) I may be visiting Pakistan for a few days while there. Then again, I may not.

Then this morning I heard that Pakistan had moved some 30,000 troops to the border to keep Taliban (and Bin Laden) out. Of course, I don't know how comfortable I feel with Pakistan having that large of a troop mass on it's border with Afghanistan at this stage.

I wouldn't be, if I were him I'd be in Pakistan rabble rousing. will -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 November 2001 15:49 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Taliban abandons city of Jalalabad Afghans are allowed to switch sides. But if your from Pakastan or Saudi Arabia and you fought for the Taliban, or supported the Taliban, and you get caught now, you're probably dead. Remember, the Taliban is primarily non-Afghan.

This is what the Northern Alliance did to the Russians. Finally they left because the loss was becoming greater than the gains. That and you would probably do the same knowing that these people killed your family because you would not support them. The list goes on. While I am not saying it is right. At the same time if I were in the position I would probably do the same. At 02:46 PM 11/14/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Yeah. They need to be very careful as they set up their new government.
